First of all, you need to be logged into your account.
From the page of each story (except for interactive stories), click on "Download ebook (format .epub)" (button located at the top of the page, under the story summary on computer/tablet or at the very bottom of the page on mobile). A window opens indicating your remaining monthly download quota. If your quota allows it, click on the "Download" button: the .epub file saves directly to your device.
Then open the file with your reading app/software (Apple Books, Google Play Books, Calibre, or Thorium) or move the file to your USB-connected e-reader (for Amazon's Kindle see our tutorial above).

You can download 5 free ebooks each month with the basic account (and keep them for free for life!). Higher plans allow you to increase the limit.

Yes. Download once, read offline as much as you want.

Apple Books (iPhone, iPad, Mac), Kobo/Vivlio/PocketBook, Android (Google Play Books), PC/Mac (Calibre, Thorium), and most e-readers. See the tutorials above.

For the Amazon e-reader, use the 'Send to Kindle' feature or convert with Calibre (see tutorial above). It is quick and free.
