Anyone know how to get it to download content from chapters or Indigo?

Seems I have to use some sort of library app on my laptop but not sure what app it is or where to get it.

I bought a book that's compatible with Kobo. Currently downloading Kobo Library for Windows because I don't know what else to get.I'm pretty disappointed with Sony's library; I checked before purchasing that it had dozens of books by my favorite authors, but I didn't double-check that any of the those books are new releases. So I can only get books that have been out as hardcovers for a while.

Curious why you decided on the Sony reader vs Nook or Kindle.

When I went looking for a Nook, I found a iPadesque lit screen device instead an eInk device.
When I went looking for a Kindle I found a button device instead of a touchscreen device.

I guess I should have looked a little more carefully, since they now both seem to have versions that meet my criteria.
 
Turns out the app I need is Adobe Digital Editions. Still, the library is very confusing to use and its selection is very small.

I've managed to get one book from it but don't really know how I did it.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
