New ways on accessing books on BARD mobile for IOS
Here is something for those of us who use BARD. Remember, the new BARD app was released some time ago.
Over the coming weeks, they say, we’ll get info on some of the new features.
Here’s today’s email I found, and I hope it is of value to you.
New ways to find books with BARD Mobile for iOS
Hello everyone,
The new version of BARD Mobile for iOS includes a variety of exciting features, and we’ll tell you about several of them in detail over the next couple of months. One of the most exciting is how much easier it is to find books similar to your current book. From any list of books, you can easily select a book and find other books by the same author, in the same series, and on the same subject. Here’s how:
Open a list of books such as a bookshelf category, your wish list, or Recently Added to BARD.
Find a book that interests you.
If you use VoiceOver, touch the book title and flick up or down. You'll move through a set of options called an action menu. The menu wraps, so you will eventually reach all the options whether you flick up or down. Most of the options are the same regardless of the book list you are in, but some vary from one list to another. For instance, if a book isn't on your device, there's a Download option. If it isn't in your wish list, there's an Add to Wish List option. And if it is on your device, there's a Delete option.
All action menus include these options:
All books by [author's name]. If there's more than one author, each author has a separate entry.
All books in [subject]. If there's more than one subject, each subject has a separate entry.
All books in [series] if the book is in a series.
Double-tap when you get to the option you want. A screen opens that lists the books in that category.
Note that every book on this new screen has the same options as in other lists. This makes it easy to download multiple books by the same author or in the same series or add them to your wish list.
If you don’t use VoiceOver, or you don’t want to use the action menu, you can reach the same options as follows:
Choose the More Info button to the right of the book of interest.
Choose the More Actions button to the right of the author's name, just below the title. A screen opens that lists all the options discussed above, as well as a Cancel button at the bottom.
Choose the option you want.
If your book is in a series, the final option before Cancel is a Subscribe button that allows you to subscribe to the series. If you do, any new books in the series are automatically added to your wish list when they are posted to BARD. We’ll talk about series subscriptions in more detail in a future post.
As you can see, it’s now easy to find and download multiple related books. Please remember, though, that these books aren’t going anywhere, and you don’t need to download them all at once. You can add them to your wish list and download them when you’re ready to read them.
Happy reading,
The BARD Support Team
Thanks for reading!
