Access your eBooks on the go

The VitalSource Bookshelf is an app that allows you to access your eBooks anytime. It's perfect for students who want to study on the go or for busy professionals who need to be able to refer to their eBooks immediately.

How to get started

If you're new to using Bookshelf, make sure your iOS device is compatible with Bookshelf. The app requires iOS 13.0 and higher and is compatible with iPad and iPhones. Now you can download Bookshelf from the App Store on your device, and it's free. You can create a new account directly from the app. You can also sign in from your mobile device using a QR code generated for your account. Open the app and scan the QR code with your camera. Once scanned, you will be logged in automatically. You can generate a new QR code if you ever need to log out or change accounts.

The interface

The VitalSource Bookshelf interface provides a simple and intuitive way to access eBooks on mobile devices. Once you've signed in, you'll be taken to your Bookshelf library. To access any book, you need to download it to your device. You can view your books either by cover or by list. To start reading or listening to a book, tap on it. A toolbar will help you to jump to a definite page, access illustrations only, and decrease or increase font size.

Key features

The VitalSource Bookshelf app is a powerful and convenient way to read your eTextbooks on your iPhone or iPad. Here are some of its key features:

  • You can read your eTexts offline. To do so, open the app while connected to the internet and download the book to your device. Once the book is downloaded, you'll be able to access it even if you're not connected to the internet.

  • The Read-Aloud function is a great way to have your book read to you. Simply select the text you want to read aloud, and the app will do the rest.

  • The search tool can look for specific terms or phrases inside the current book or across the library.

  • Creating notes on particular parts of the text and highlighting text sections can be helpful when trying to remember critical information from a book.

  • Bookshelf can sync your last page read, notes, and highlights to the VitalSource cloud. To sync content between devices, please ensure you are logged in with the same account on each device.

  • A Flashcard is another helpful feature to study and review your course material. It can be used to quiz yourself on key terms and concepts or to keep track of what you've learned.

Conclusions

The VitalSource Bookshelf app is a great way to read your eBooks on the go. It has a clean and user-friendly interface and allows you to navigate your eBook collection easily. The app also allows you to take notes and highlight passages, which can be very useful when studying or researching.
