Logging in
To access the CLC eReader you need to log in, if you already have an account. If not, you may create an account directly in the app.
The Library
The library is accessed by clicking the first icon on the bottom of the screen. This will show all the titles you have available. To synchronise with eBooks recently purchased, pull down from the 'Library' to refresh.
Pressing a particular title will enable you to open the eBook. The first time you enter an eBook it will download from our servers which may take a few moments. After that, the eBook can be accessed and read in the app even if you are offline.
eBook Main Menu and Reading options
The pages of the book are turned by touching the right hand side of the screen, or by swiping right to left. To turn back, the opposite actions are used.
While reading a book, if the centre of the screen is touched the top menu appears:
