Why do I get an error 404 error message upon opening an e-book?

Question

error 404 request resource not found

Answer 1

The 404 or Not Found error message is an HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server but either the server could not find what was requested, or it was configured not to fulfill the request and did not reveal the reason why. 404 errors should not be confused with "server not found" or similar errors, in which a connection to the destination server could not be made at all.

Answer 2

HTTP Error 404 is an error message which means that the web page you are looking for cannot be found. So the e-book is either temporary unavailable, the link is broken, or it has been removed.

Answer 3

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
