Ebook Installation Instructions: Android

Thank you for purchasing the Mountain Directory Ebook for Android! You may want to open these instructions on a separate device so that you can refer to them easily as you install the ebook on your Android device. Also please be aware that the graphics included in these instructions are not clickable, they are just illustrations of what you should see during the download and installation process.

We offer two methods for installing the Android ebook, and both are listed here. Method #1 is more straightforward, but if you aren’t successful, please scroll down and try Method #2.

Method #1

Step 1: Install the Javelin Reader

For best results, make sure that you’re connected to Wi-Fi. Open the Google Play Store on your Android device and search for “Javelin3 PDF reader”, or click here on your Android device to open the Google Play Store. Tap to install the free app.

Step 2: Open the Javelin3 Reader

Click to open the app when it has finished installing.

You can also find the Javelin3 icon on your device and tap to open the Javelin3 Reader:

When you open the Javelin3 app for the first time, you’ll see a message: “You need to allow access to your local file system”. Click OK. This is required for the app to work properly.

When prompted to allow Javelin3 to access photos and media on your device, click ALLOW. This is also required.

Step 3: Download the Ebook

Click on the Catalog icon on the home screen of the Javelin3 Reader.

Click on the Refresh button in the top right to load the list of publishers.

Scroll down and click on the folder named Mountain Directory – RR Publications. Select YES to download the file.

You should see six files in this folder, three ending in iOS and three ending in Android. Select the name of the ebook you purchased (East, West, or Combined) and ending in “Android”. Make sure you select the correct version.  They are not interchangeable.

NOTE: If you don’t see three files ending in “Android”, click on the Refresh button again in the top right.

Click YES to download the file.

An authorization prompt will appear the first time you open the ebook. Type your Authorization Code carefully into the text field, then click on the AUTHORIZE button:

As soon as you’ve entered the authorization code, your ebook will be fully activated and ready to use. You may install this ebook on a total of two (2) machines using your authorization code. We recommend that you write down your authorization code and keep it in a place that will be easy to find, in case you wish to use it later for a second installation.

To return to the ebook after closing it:

You’ll receive a prompt to allow access to manage all files. Toggle the switch on to allow access. You will only be asked to do this once.
