Post Updated 9/6/17 - Recorded Books has notified us that the maintenance window has been pushed back to Wednesday, September 13, and we have edited the post below to reflect this.
According to staff at Recorded Books, Inc., over the coming weeks, RBdigital web and mobile app updates will
provide new features while correcting app issues identified by patrons and
librarians.
RBdigital Web Updates
The update for RBdigital will start around 7 p.m. CDT on Wednesday, September 13. This update may take up to 8 hours to
complete, and during this period service disruptions on the web are expected
for RBdigital audiobooks.
The RBdigital web release will deliver a number of new features, including
suggestive search and recommended title lists.
- Suggestive search makes it
easier for users to find their favorite titles. Results pop up while users
type their search criteria.
- Recommended title lists show
suggested titles based on users’ favorite genres.
RBdigital Mobile App Updates
In the coming weeks (dates to be determined), an update to the RBdigital mobile app will add the
following features:
- Suggestive search makes it
easier for users to find their favorite titles. Results pop up while users
type their search criteria.
- Recommended title lists show
suggested titles based on users’ favorite genres.
- Checkout and Download buttons
for magazines have been redesigned to make downloading even easier.
- The Audiobook Player redesign,
which includes adjustable playback speed, increases usability for patrons.
More new features are also planned. Additional
