Ask Us!: Galway Mayo

The ability to download an eBook to a mobile device will depend mainly on if our purchase license allows download access or not.
This varies book by book, when you access a title from the library catalogue this information will be available to you. Generally there are two types of access 'Read Online' and/or 'Download' 
If download is not available you will always be able to read the eBook when you access it online. The download function allows you to have it in screen readable format, for a specific period of time such as 7 days. For some titles you can adjust the time, and for others there is no choice. 

Reading eBooks on mobile devices will require an app such as Bluefire, others may suggest a specific app to download if they don't detect one there. Clicking on the 'download' link from the eBook page will prompt you according to the device OS (iOS, Android), accepting the defaults will usually result in a successful download.
