They have really good email support. Also, the app is very accessible and is so easy to use. Once you purchase your book, you download the app to your phone and login with your user name and password you have created. Then, on your computer when you go into your library, you will find an option to downlad a zip file of your book. You can also download the book in your app and listen to it that way. That is a very easy process. The player has very easy labeled buttons. Try it and I think you will like it.
