How do I read O'Reilly ebooks offline (O'Reilly mobile app)?
Answer
This FAQ provides instructions for how to read O'Reilly ebooks offline using using the O'Reilly Mobile App.
The only way to download and read O'Reilly ebooks offline is to use their mobile app, which is available for Apple, Android, and Kindle Fire. The mobile app is called O'Reilly. It can be found in the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Amazon App Store.
How to download and use the O'Reilly Mobile App on your Apple device:
1. Find the O'Reilly app in the Apple App Store and download it to your Apple device.
2. When you open the app, touch "Sign in" to sign into your O'Reilly Account. If you need help creating your O'Reilly account, please visit this FAQ.
3. Not sure what your O'Reilly account password is? If so, you will need to reset your password. First, type in your EGCC email address and then hit "Forgot your password" at the bottom of the screen.
4. An email will be sent to your EGCC email account with a link to reset your password. Go to your EGCC email inbox and follow the prompts to set a new password.
5. Once you have set a new password, return to the mobile app and enter in your complete login information. You will then be taken to the home screen.
6. To download a book, search for the title by touching the magnifying glass search icon in the top right of the screen. Once you find the book you are looking for, you can hit the download icon next to it to download it to your device. This way, you will be able to read it even when you are offline.
7. To access your downloaded books, return to the home screen with the back arrow in the top left and then touching the "Your O'Reilly" icon in the bottom left. Once you are at the home screen, hit downloads at the top right of the screen.
8. This will take you to your list of downloads where you can select books to read.
9. Select the downloaded book you would like to read and begin reading on your device. If the text is difficult to read, you can adjust the text size by touching the "Aa" icon at the bottom of the screen. Adjust the sliders to change the text size. You can also change from scroll mode to swipe mode.
The steps for downloading the mobile app to an Android device or Kindle Fire will be the same, except you will visit the Google Play Store or Amazon App Store instead of the Apple App Store. The platform may look slightly different, but the app will have the same functionality and features.
