Overview
After logging in, the My Titles screen is shown. If you already have books checked out on your account, they will be listed here. This screenshot shows an account with two books checked out.
Detailed book information may be accessed by tapping the cover art, title, or summary of a book. This page will show a full book summary and the exact expiration date of your checkout. From this page, tap the My Titles button on the top left to return to the previous screen.
Browse More Titles brings up the OneClickdigital website through the app, so you may browse books or access your account information. You will not have to log in to the website - the app will have transferred your login. Areas/buttons to be aware of:
- My Collections--this shows what you currently have checkedd out, holds, and checkout history. You will be able to return early or renew books from this section.
- My Account--use this section to update your email address or change your password. Note: the only line you cannot change later on your account is your username.
- Close button--in red border, upper right side. This is how you will exit the browsing screen to return to My Titles.

Check Out a Book
Currently, this is the same as checking out a book on the computer, as the Browse More Titles pulls up the regular OneClickdigital website inside the app. If you use a small device and find this interface difficult to browse easily, please realize any books you check out through the regular website on your computer will be available in the mobile app the next time you sign in or refresh the app. The accounts sync!
Tips on checking out through the mobile app's Browse More Titles:
- Just want something to read right now? Advanced Search has a "Available for Checkout" selection (right column, bottom). Run a search with only this changed to see all titles that you can check out now.
- Have a lot of results from your search? Use the "Sort By" feature above the "Search Selection" column to sort the results by release date, author, or narrator instead of title. You will get a different batch of results on the first page of each, and you may find something you wish to checkout without paging through the results.
- Tapping on the cover art of the book pulls up its detail page--this is where you'll find the Checkout Now button for an available book, or a Hold button if all copies are checked out.
Refresh the App:
Just checked out a book, and it is not showing in the "My Titles" screen of the app? Refresh the app by:
- Dragging down on the "My Titles" screen and holding.
- A black arrow will appear at the top of the books list with the message "Release to Refresh."
- When you let go, the app will process any changes you have made (such as a new checkout).

Leaving the wifi range?
All parts of the book must be downloaded before leaving the range of the wifi connection. If it is not, the book will stop playing and the app will display a connection error once it gets to the end of the currently downloaded parts.
Download All Button
|
Using this button will cause all parts of all books currently checked out to download. It is found in the lower right corner of the My Titles screen. |
|
|
The app first checks that it has a wifi connection - confirm that you wish to download the books. |
 |
|
Choose in what manner you want the books to download. Since you intend to leave the wifi-zone, you want all parts of the book downloaded right now, so select Yes. |
 |
|
The app will now start downloading the chapters of the first book on the app. It will continually show you the progress of the downloads. This screenshot was taken as soon as the download begain, note the red bar. When the first book is downloaded, it will continue on to the next until all books are downloaded. You will receive a "downloads complete" message when it is done. |

Didn't use Download All, but book has been playing for some time in wifi range?
To be sure that all parts have downloaded before leaving the wifi area, tap the open book icon in the upper right corner as the book downloads/plays.
This will show all of the parts of the book. Downloaded chapters will be in bold black, chapters not downloaded will be gray. When all chapters have downloaded, the device can be out of range or disconnected from the wifi connection and play the entire book without interruption. Note: if you have undownloaded chapters at this point, it may be easier to return to the My Titles screen and use the Download All button, as this lets you know when the book download is complete without the need to refresh the screen.
