More tips
• All books in the streams are multi-user, meaning an unlimited number of readers can access them at the same time.
• A selection of titles will expire at the end of each month, so watch for the “Leaving Soon” banners to appear on the cover art. But, don’t worry—new titles will automatically be added to the streams at that time, too!
• The Search feature will bring up titles that are not available to be read. These titles are not currently in the streams and cannot be accessed. Only books with the “Read” or “Play” buttons are the books available to read.

5. Simply swipe left and right on your screen to navigate through the book. You can also click on the Settings gear in the top right corner of the screen and change to “Continuous” to scroll up and down through the book.
Enjoy this free, unlimited access!
