I paid for and downloaded the ePDF files from shop.btpubservices.com/ Although they are not all shown on the image below, I did purchase all five. Before you download any of them you are required to first download and install the "Adobe Digital Editions" app onto your computer. I'm on a Windows 11 operating system. Here's what I know about what I downloaded:
1. They are the same as the Applebooks versions.
2. There is a "Find" command in the app, but it's not very sophisticated. For example, it doesn't give you a count of the instances of the search word/number.
3. There is a "Copy" command in the "Edit" dropdown of the app, but it is greyed out and unusable.
4. I could not open any of the downloaded files which have a .pdf suffix attached to them with my copy of Adobe Acrobat Pro. I got a message that I did not have the required security key.
Choose wisely.

Addressing Concerns About Our Video Avatars
Hello everyone,
Weâve received a few comments â letâs call them âthoughtful concernsâ â regarding our new video avatars, Ethan and Consuelo. I wanted to take a moment to address them directly:
1. You Donât Have to Watch:
Our episodes are designed like podcasts, which means they can be just as engaging when listened to without the visuals. If you find the avatars unsettling, feel free to treat the videos as audio content. The ideas and discussions remain the core of what we aim to deliver.
2. AI is Evolving:
Technology is improving rapidly. In fact, I recently created a digital avatar of myself using another platform, and even my family couldnât tell it wasnât the real me. The tools I use for Ethan and Consuelo are constantly advancing, so their appearance will continue to improve and feel more natural over time.
3. Keeping the Mind Active:
At 76, I see learning and experimenting with these tools as an essential way to stay mentally engaged. Exploring AI not only sparks creativity but also helps bring innovative ideas to life.
I sincerely appreciate your feedback and your patience as we refine this journey. Our primary focus is on creating content that stimulates thoughtful discussions and intellectual curiosity. If you have further questions or suggestions, Iâd love to hear them.
Thank you for being a part of this community!
Warmest regards,
Toby
