An e-book is unlocked with a code, which is the number of the credit card that was used to purchase the e-book or else a predetermined password issued by the publisher. You will need a copy of the code to view and save your e-book to your computer or handheld device. This is a security measure employed by publishers to protect their copyrights and prevent the illegal pirating of e-books.
