Do I download the G-Books® or are they mailed to me?

If you like, you'll be able to download your G-Book directly from our Store immediately after your credit card or PayPal payment is received.

Because of their graphical nature and high-resolution, you will want a broadband (high-speed) Internet connection to download G-Books. You can attempt downloads with a dialup connection, but we do not officially support dialup speeds at our store. If you don't have a broadband connection, you can order up to 6 G-books custom-burned to a CD and mailed to you, for a modest additional fee. Check the Store for details.

While G-Books range from 15 MB to 125 MB each, most are in the 80-100 MB range. Each G-Book listed in the Store displays its file size so you can estimate your download time. Here are some typical times you might expect for downloading G-Books of small, medium, and large size:

Speed Class Small (20 MB) Medium (80 MB) Large (125 MB)
Cable (6000k) 30 sec. 2 min. 3 min.
Cable (3000k) 1 min. 4 min. 6 min.
DSL (1500k) 2 min. 7 min. 12 min.
DSL (384k)  7 min. 27 min. 44 min.
