Rose,
The thing to do is to count 7days fromt he time you
download, including that day, and then go to the
upload button and renew if you want to keep working on
a book. Then count seven again, and keep renewing. The
books are available for renewal even a couple of days
before day 7. You can renew as often as you want. You
can even have more than one book downloaded, though
certain people don't want people to have too many at
one time, so that you can work on different books for
variety. For example, if you get tired of the medical
terminology book you might want to work on a mystery
or romance for a while. Just remember to renew. It
helps if you take a new book within one or two days of
renewing the book you hve so you can renew all the
books at once rather than having to remember different
dates.
