Can't Open Downloaded Book

I received an email from new.itunes.com about the new Beatles album, "1" and that studio albums are $9.99 for a limited time. I clicked on "check it out" and it went to the Beatles page in the iTunes store. Showed the new album and all the studio albums. Showed a free book, "Yellow Submarine". I clicked on "free" and it downloaded; took about five minutes. Within my iTunes I clicked on Books. "Yellow Submarine", 317.6 mb, shows listed. I double clicked on the book and nothing happens; it doesn't open.

Any ideas? Thx!

Should be, "I clicked "download", not "free"."

What ever happened to being able to edit???

After posting the question, the page came back up ... and added "More like this". I THEN saw a couple similar questions...with the responses that the book can't be opened on a Mac or PC; must be an ipod or ipad or iphone or...whatever. WTH?? Why didn't it say that on the description?! I don't have any of those i-devices. Delete city here I come, I reckon. Totally whack.
