After you buy an ebook on Leanpub, you have multiple options for downloading the ebook.

Please note that Leanpub books have no DRM.

First, after you complete the purchase, you will be taken to a web page with download links.

Second, after you complete the purchase, you will receive an email with download links.

Third, after you have completed the purchase and created a Leanpub account, to download the ebook, you can also sign in to your new Leanpub account, and go to your Leanpub purchase library, which you will be able to access here:

If you're new to Leanpub, here's how this works: we automatically create an account for you when you make your first purchase. This is done so that you can always access the latest version of your purchases. (Leanpub books and courses are often published in-progress by their authors, and can be updated at any time.)

If you've never set a password for your account, you can do that here:

Once you sign in, you'll be able to go to your library to download all of your purchases.
