 * I want to create a woocommerce ebook estore. Users will purchase ebook and it
   will get added to their personal library. They cannot download it. They can only
   read it online from their library which is in turn all their ebooks that they
   purchased from my site. I dont get any thing such. Also no plugin to create users
   own library page where all purchased book will be listed.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fonly-readable-pdf-ebook%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there,
 * This question is more linked towards how WooCommerce works than the Storefront
   specifically. With that said, I’m not aware of any plugin that would allow users
   to purchase an ebook but one which they can’t download and this would likely 
   need to be custom developed by a web developer or one of the customisation experts
   listed at [https://woocommerce.com/customizations/](https://woocommerce.com/customizations/).
 * The only possible workaround (which might require additional tweaking) is embedding
   a flipbook onto a page that’s restricted using [WooCommerce Memberships](https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-memberships/).
   For more information on how that embedding works, have a look at the following
   resource: [https://fliphtml5.com/learning-center/how-to-embed-a-flipbook-on-woocommerce/](https://fliphtml5.com/learning-center/how-to-embed-a-flipbook-on-woocommerce/)

 * Hi [@noxtks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/noxtks/),
 * This thread is now closed. If you still need help, please create your own topic
   on the WooCommerce support forums, so we can help you out there, as you question
   is related more towards WooCommerce than Storefront:

 * Please also see RK’s reply above for more details.
 * Thank you!
