Ratings and reviews

The book content is fine, but it would not work in the google play app. I kept getting an error message and it wouldn't open at all. Very frustrating. Also had problems on my laptop in the browser. Specifically purchased so I could listen to it through the app. Waste of money, and multiple hours trying to fix it.

I purchased this ebook already be why am I having to repurchase it and it's telling me that I only have the sample?
