Open BARD Mobile, and Choose the Get Books tab. You have several options on this screen. If you want to download a book from your wish list, choose the first option, which is Wish List. If you double-tap this option, your wish list will be displayed in reverse chronological order. Double-tap the title of the item you wish to download. Next is a section called Recently Added Titles. It includes four options: Audio Books, Audio Magazines, Braille Books, and Braille Magazines. Double-tap the option you want to see a list of recently added titles in that category. Each item on this screen includes the title and a More Info button. Double-tap the title of the item you want to download, or double-tap More Info to see a synopsis or other information. There is a Download button on the More Info screen, which you can double-tap if you decide to download the item. The final section on the Get Books screen is called BARD Website. It includes one option: Browse BARD. If you double-tap this option, the BARD main page opens. Use the search options on this page to find books as you normally would. The link following each book title is an Add to Wish List button, so you can easily add the books or magazines you find to your wish list. You have several navigation options while browsing BARD. In the top center of the screen is a heading called BARD. To its right are Back and Forward buttons. These work like the standard Back and Forward buttons in a web browser; the Back button takes you to the page you last visited, and the Forward button returns you to a page if you have used the Back button to go to a previous page. To the left of the BARD heading is another Back button. This one takes you out of the BARD site and back to BARD Mobile. This is the button you'll want to double-tap after you have added books to your wish list and want to download them. So the procedure for choosing and downloading books from the BARD main page is as follows: 1. Find the books and/or magazines you want to download, and add them to your wish list. 2. Double-tap the Back button to the left of the BARD heading to return to BARD Mobile. 3. Double-tap the Wish List option. 4. Double-tap the title you want to download. A confirmation message will appear. 5. Select OK. While the title is downloading, you can double-tap it to pause. Double-tap it again to resume the download. Selected items will download one after another in the order they were selected. If you double-tap an item already queued for download, it will be moved to the top of the queue. If you leave BARD Mobile while items are being downloaded or the screen locks, downloading will stop. Downloading should resume the next time you open the app. If it doesn't, select the bookshelf tab. All items you are trying to download are listed there and labeled "Queued for download." Double-tap the item or items you want to download. BARD Mobile will always download via wi-fi if it is available. If you're not in wi-fi range, BARD will download via the cellular network if you have turned on "Download over mobile network" in the User Account section of Settings. If this option is off, BARD Mobile will stop downloading until it has access to wi-fi again. We hope this information will help as you begin to use BARD Mobile.
