Help & FAQ

Choose a book in the Library and select its reading action. “Read now” indicates an available Reader edition. Some books currently have a catalogue entry without a reading edition; their descriptions and related material are still available.

The Reader opens in Continuous view, where you can scroll through the book. On a touchscreen, pinch within the scanned page to enlarge it, then move across or down the enlarged page. You can also use the zoom controls. Grid gives you an overview of the pages; contents and page controls help you jump to a particular place.

Scanned pages preserve the printed source. Machine-extracted text is a separate reading aid and can misread old type, page layouts or damaged print. It is labelled accordingly. Check the original page when exact wording matters, and report a source problem with its book and page reference.
