Step 1 - Install the app

Go to your App store and install the rbdigital app (or follow the link at the bottom of the rbDigital eMagazine webpage)

Step 2 - Create a username and password (you'll need the number from the back of your library card).

Open the app, then tap 'Not a member? Register now'.

When you find a title you want, tap Checkout, then 'Read' and the magazine will download to your device (nb by default title will only download over Wi-Fi - you can change this in Settings)

 

Using the App

When your magazine opens, swipe left or right to turn pages.

Tap the screen once to access more options. Some magazines display a [Text] link - this reformats the page in easily scrollable text, and also allows you to increase font size or switch to white text on a black background.

To access the Settings menu, change your login, or view your checkouts, tap the 'paper stack' icon in the top left.
