• Step 3: Reading Check out books from the incredible selection of titles available within the Open eBooks app and start reading! The Open eBooks app allows you to check out up to 30 eBooks at a time. Each eBook will be available for 30 days before it must be renewed. You can choose eBooks based on topics of interest or search by title or author. Using Open eBooks on Web requires internet access. When using the app, browsing available titles, and checking out a book from a collection requires internet access. However, Open eBooks titles can be downloaded and read from the app while offline. When using the app while connected to your mobile network, standard data rates apply.
