How do I use the online reader?
The online reader is where you read your book directly on TailoredRead, on any device with a browser. There's nothing to install: sign in, open a book from Your Library, and start reading. The reader is also the control center for each book, where you manage visibility and license, and download a PDF or Word copy for offline reading.
Two icons in the toolbar cover navigation:
- Table of contents (list icon, top-left). Opens a panel with every chapter and subchapter. Select one to jump straight to it.
- Menu (⋮, top-right). Opens the book menu, described below.
The book menu (⋮)
The ⋮ menu is where everything else happens, grouped into four sections.
Book:
- Write a Review. Rate the book and share your thoughts. See book reviews.
- License. View the current license or upgrade to get broader rights (editing, sharing, selling).
- Visibility. Manage who else can see a sample of your book.
Download and Export:
- Download PDF for Tablet or Computer and Download PDF for Phone. Two page sizes sized for different screens. See download PDF.
- Download Word Document. Available with a Commercial or Author license. See download Word.
- Send to Kindle. Upload the PDF to your Kindle. See send to Kindle.
Create another book:
- New Book. Start a fresh book from scratch.
- Related to This Book. Create a related book that reuses the current book's subject and settings.
More:
- Customize Display. Switches between 1 Page, 2 Pages, and Continuous layouts. Font size is controlled by your browser: on iOS tap AA in the address bar, on Android use the browser menu zoom, on desktop press Cmd/Ctrl + + or −. These settings only affect the reader view on this device; the underlying book and any downloaded PDF or Word file are unaffected.
- Support & Help. Get help for your book.
The reader is read-only. To edit the text, download the Word file with a Commercial or Author License. See Can I edit my book inside TailoredRead?.
