Are rGuides like cloudDVDs?

Yes, essentially they are the same thing. Simply put, rGuides are upgraded, more capable, cloudDVDs, which offer additional features and improved functionality

Ok, what is a rGuide?

A rGuide is a modern, much more capable, virtual version of a traditional book. A rGuide is not limited to static text and images, nor is it bound by physical constraints. Rather, a rGuide is dynamic; it exists online, in “the cloud”, and is most often made up of a combination of crystal clear instructor-led HD video, interactive animations, downloadable documents, text and graphics.

Sounds good, but where do the rGuides I buy end up?

Your rGuides are digitally delivered to your own personal rGuide Library which you login to using the credentials you created at checkout. There are no physical copies of rGuides delivered, all rGuide content is streamed directly to your computer or mobile device.

Great, so how do I access my rGuide Library?

Your rGuide Library can effortlessly be accessed, from “the cloud”, via desktop and start-menu shortcuts. You can access it via your smart phone by downloading easy-to-use (iPhone and Android) apps, or from any computer anywhere - all you need is a web browser.

Ok, and for how long do I have access to the rGuides I buy?

You have access to your rGuides for one (1) year, under normal usage conditions.

Normal usage conditions? Definition please.

Normal usage conditions mean that for every minute of video in the rGuide, you get 3 minutes of viewing time. Unlimited navigation of the table of contents, index and "searches" within the rGuide are permitted. This limitation is there to ensure that login information is not shared. A user account is intended to be used by one single individual.
