How to use the ebook reader

You can start reading ebooks right after you borrow them, or go to shelf > Loans to open them. Once you open an ebook, you can:

  • On larger screens, select bookmark icon to make a bookmark. On smaller screens, click or tap the top-right corner of the screen to make a bookmark.
  • On larger screens, click or tap display icon to change how many pages display at a time.
  • For fixed-layout ebooks, click or tap zoom icon to zoom in or out.
  • Click or tap reading settings icon to change your reading settings. You can adjust the text size, font, and lighting for most ebooks.
  • For read-along ebooks, click or tap playback speed icon to change the reading speed.
  • Click or tap search icon to search for a word or phrase in the book.
  • Click or tap bookmarks and notes menu to see your bookmarks, notes, and highlights.
  • Click or tap the center of the screen to see the timeline.

    From there, you can:
    • Select Chapters (or the name of the current chapter) to see the table of contents.
    • Click or tap the number on the left side of the chapter name to skip to the beginning of the current chapter.
    • Click or tap the number on the right side of the chapter name to skip to the next chapter.
    • Slide the timeline at the bottom of the screen to go to a specific place in the book.
    • Look at the number on the left side of the title circle to see your current page number. Tap the number to see your progress as a percentage of the book instead.
    • Look at the number on the right side of the title circle to see the total number of pages in the book.
      Note: The number of pages changes based on font and screen size.
    • Tap jump back or jump forward below the timeline to jump to your last position.
    • Tap recent places below the timeline to see all of your recent places. Select a location to return to it.

Some ebooks, like MediaDo, can only be read in your web browser. These books can't be downloaded, and have different settings to support special features.
