Note: If you are using an eReader or the 3M Cloud Library app for the first time, you may be asked about your Adobe authorization. A dialog box will tell you when your eBook has been successfully transferred to your device. Click on “My Books” and you will see a green “download to device” button on your eBooks. In the 3M Cloud Library App, a notification will appear below the navigation tabs: “connected to device: _” (with your eReader identified after the word device). Transferring eBooks to your eReader:Ĭonnect your eReader to your computer using its USB cable. To exit, you can click on one of the other tabs (Shelves, Categories, Search, My Books).
This will open the book in a fifth navigation tab. To read one of these books, click on its cover. When you click on My Books, you will see any books you have checked out using either this app, the web interface, the Discover Terminal, or a 3M Cloud Library mobile app. You can use Advanced Search to narrow your search to currently available titles only. The navigation icons at the top of the screen allow you to browse by Shelves or by Categories, to Search, or to view your Books. Using the App:īrowsing and searching for eBooks using the 3M Cloud Library app works just like it does on the 3M Cloud Library website and in the 3M Cloud Library mobile apps. Otherwise your eReader will only work with one service at a time. The simplest way to proceed is to let 3M Cloud Library handle the authentication, and skip the process of creating or remembering an Adobe ID and password.īut! If you intend to transfer both 3M Cloud Library eBooks and OverDrive eBooks to a (non-Kindle) eReader, such as a NOOK or Sony Reader, you should authenticate your 3M Cloud Library app using your Adobe ID and password. If Adobe Digital Editions is not already installed and registered, or 3M Cloud Library does not detect your Adobe ID, it will give you two options: Use a 3M Cloud ID (no sign-in required, other than your library card) or enter an Adobe ID and Password.
If you already use the software program Adobe Digital Editions to download eBooks from OverDrive or another service, 3M Cloud Library should automatically detect and use the same Adobe ID you used to authenticate that program. The first time you open the program, you will need to choose SC as your state, Richland Library as your library, and enter your Richland Library Card Number.
