Reader App Help

The Mills & Boon reader app is no longer in use, so we are advising our readers to use the Bluefire Reader App, which we believe will offer a better eBook reading experience. 

What does this mean for you? 

If you use our Mills & Boon Reader app, you will need to swap over to using the Bluefire Reader app. This also means moving over your eBooks. This guide will help you do these things. We have also created a simple, helpful video to help you navigate this process.

Step 1: Find Your Adobe ID details

Your Adobe ID is required to authorise your eBooks in the new reader. You need to login to your new reader with the same Adobe ID used for the Mills and Boon reader. It’s best to check this before you start the process.

  1. Open the Mills and Boon reader app on your mobile or tablet.
  2. Click the info icon (“i”) on the top menu to see your Adobe ID listed in the section Adobe eBooks are enabled.
  3. Take a note of the Adobe ID. You will need this ID and the password for it in the new reader. (Don’t know the password? Click here)

Step 2: Install the Bluefire Reader

You need to install the Bluefire app before you can transfer eBooks to it and authorise it with the same Adobe ID so you can open these books.

  1. Apple devices: Go to the Bluefire reader on iTunes app store. Android: Go to the Bluefire reader on the Google play appstore
  2. Open the Bluefire reader app on your mobile or tablet.
  3. Click the info icon (“i”) on the top menu.
  4. Click ‘Authorise’ in the section ‘Enable Adobe eBooks’
  5. Enter your Adobe ID and Password (Don’t know the password? Click here)

    2. Login to your account using the icon in the top right hand corner of the site.

THEN

    4. Repeat steps 3-4 for each eBook you wish to move.
