FIRST USE FOR PC’S The app works with Windows 8, 7, Vista and XP. When you first launch the app, you will need to select your library and sign in. (You should only have to do this once on a personal computer you do not share). 1. Select State/North Carolina. 2. Select Library: East Albemarle Regional Library. 3. Enter Your Library-ID: use your library card barcode (i.e., your 14-digit library card number). 4. Password - this is the same PIN that you use to access our Online Catalog for placing holds and checking your account. If you have never used this feature of our Online Catalog, please call or stop by the library to receive a PIN for your library account. This PIN will be the password for your 3M Cloud Library account. 5. End User License Agreement: open this and click "agree" to continue. 6. Click the Log In button to finalize your setup. 8/2015 Although these instructions are for the PC APP, the 3M Cloud Library app will appear very similar no matter what device or platform you are using. PC CLOUD LIBRARY APP FEATURES Use the 3M Cloud Library PC app to search, check out, and read eBooks from the Cloud Library. The PC app can also be used to transfer eBooks to a portable eBook reader such as a Nook or Kobo. Shelves Browse the most popular Cloud Library eBook titles chosen by library staff. To browse all eBooks on a shelf, click "List View". Categories Browse all Cloud Library eBooks by subject. Click "List View" to see all titles in a subject. Click "Show All Subcategories" to break the subject area into subcategories. Search for eBooks by words that appear in the title, author, or book details.

Click "List View" to see more options, including "Check In" to return a book early. Hold List shows books you have on hold, as well as an estimate of how soon the book will be available.

PC APP CHECKING OUT AND READING When you find a book you would like, click the book's cover to display the "Book Detail" page that shows a summary and similar books in the collection. Click on "Check Out" to check out the book. The book will appear on your “Currently Reading” list and will download to your computer. If the book is currently checked out, click the "Add to Hold List" button to place the book on your Hold List. READING ON YOUR PC Under the Currently Reading section of My Books, click on the book cover to open it. The first time you open a book, Cloud Library needs to activate an Adobe ID. If you do not have Adobe Digital Editions installed on your computer, you will be given the option of using a system-provided Adobe ID or using your own. (Please note that this is NOT necessary, you do not need to install ADE unless you need it for another purpose). Make your choice and click "OK" to proceed. IMPORTANT: If you have already used your computer to download and transfer eBooks to a Nook, you already have an Adobe Digital Editions ID. When you first download the 3M Cloud Library, it will recognize this, and prompt you that Adobe Digital Editions is already installed on your computer. Please select your current Adobe ID, rather than the 3M Cloud Library ID, so you can continue to download non-3M eBooks from your personal computer to your Nook. Again, selecting the 3M Cloud Library ID will override any Adobe ID already on your computer and make any books already on your Nook inaccessible. If you already have Adobe Digital Editions installed on your computer authorized with your personal Adobe ID, the 3M Cloud Library app will use your personal Adobe ID to continue. You will get this screen: (Click OK). This will minimize issues with other eBook services you may be using for downloading eBooks to transfer to an eReader. The book will open in a 5th tab, to the right of "My Books": Use the arrows on the right and left of the book's pages to move through the books. Click the upper right corner of the book for more options: CHANGE FONT SIZE Click the icon for book details. Click the large and small "A" icon to change text size. Click the magnifying glass icon to search inside the book by keyword. Click the square box to add bookmarks or notes. TRANSFERRING FROM YOUR PC TO YOUR EREADER You can transfer your books from your PC to a Nook or Kobo eBook reader. Turn on your eBook reader and connect it to your computer. In the 3M Cloud Library app, go to the "My Books" tab. Once the app has recognized your device, you should see a "connected to device" message and green "download to device" buttons for each book you have downloaded to your computer. Click the green "download to device" button to transfer the book to your eBook reader. When you are done transferring eBooks to your reader, eject the device. The book should now be available on your reader. (Some readers will file the title in a folder called "Digital Editions".) Sharing Computers If you share a computer login with another person on your home computer and both want to use the 3M Cloud Library, you must log out of the 3M Cloud Library app each time so someone else can use it. To log out of the 3M app. 1. Go to the “My Books” screen. 2. Click on "Account Profile" 3. Select "modify library information” 4. This will log you out and close the app. When you reopen the app it will ask for a log in. What are loan periods and limits? eBooks checkout for 14 days, but you can return your books early. We encourage you to return your book when you are finished so that it becomes available to other users. If you would like to return a book early, go to "My Books" and click "List View". Click the red "Check In" button in the row for the book you would like to return. After 14 days, the book will automatically be returned to the collection. Please note that checking the book in on your account from your computer does not remove any book you have already transferred to an eReader (such as a Nook). At the end of the loan period, books on your e-reader will become inaccessible and will need to be deleted manually. The Checkout limit is four, meaning you can have up to four books checked out at one time. The Holds limit is five. You can have up to five books on hold at a time. This limit allows for books to be available to as many people as possible. Holds are held for 3 days. You have 72 hours to check out a book once it becomes available to you. How am I notified when a book I requested becomes available? The first time you put a book on hold, you will be asked if you would like to receive email notifications. If you select “No, don’t notify me”, the opt out setting will be stored in your account profile.

  • E-Book Readers Kindle Sony and Nook a Comparative Study
    E-BOOK READERS KINDLE SONY AND NOOK: A COMPARATIVE STUDY Baban Kumbhar Librarian Rayat Shikshan Sanstha’s Dada Patil Mahavidyalaya, Karjat, Dist Ahmednagar E-mail:[email protected] Abstract An e-book reader is a portable electronic device for reading digital books and periodicals, better known as e- books. An e-book reader is similar in form to a tablet computer. Kindle is a series of e-book readers designed and marketed by Amazon.com. The Sony Reader was a line of e-book readers manufactured by Sony. NOOK is a brand of e-readers developed by American book retailer Barnes & Noble. Researcher compares three E-book readers in the paper. Keywords: e-book reader, Kindle, Sony, Nook 1. Introduction: An e-reader, also called an e-book reader or e-book device, is a mobile electronic device that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading digital e-books and periodicals. Any device that can display text on a screen may act as an e-book reader, but specialized e-book reader designs may optimize portability, readability (especially in sunlight), and battery life for this purpose. A single e-book reader is capable of holding the digital equivalent of hundreds of printed texts with no added bulk or measurable mass.[1] An e-book reader is similar in form to a tablet computer. A tablet computer typically has a faster screen capable of higher refresh rates which makes it more suitable for interaction. Tablet computers also are more versatile, allowing one to consume multiple types of content, as well as create it.

  • E-Books on the Mobile E-Reader
    Mobile Information Systems 9 (2013) 55–68 55 DOI 10.3233/MIS-2012-0148 IOS Press E-books on the mobile e-reader Chulyun Kim, Ok-Ran Jeong∗, Jaehyuk Choi and Won Kim Department of Software Design and Management, Gachon University, Seongnam, Korea Abstract. The market for e-books has been established during the past several years. Many e-book readers are commercially available, and millions of e-book titles are available for purchase or free download. E-paper technology has matured enough to be used as the screen for dedicated e-book readers which make reading possible with the familiar feel of reading printed books. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the status of the e-book, including the architecture and features of e-book readers, market adoption and e-book industry ecosystem. Keywords: E-book, e-paper technology, e-book reader, e-book industry ecosystem 1. Introduction A book organizes texts and images. As texts and images can be stored and retrieved from computers in digital form, the emergence of e-books is only natural. An e-book (electronic book) is a book that is stored in digital form and read on a mobile e-book reader. There are two types of e-book reader: a dedicated e-book reader (such as Amazon’s Kindle, Sony’s PRS Reader), and a multi-function computing device (such as a PC, a tablet computer, a PDA, a smart phone). (Henceforth, we will use the term “e-book reader” to mean either type where a distinction is not necessary.) Figure 1 shows an Amazon Kindle e-book reader.

  • E-Readers Vs. Printed Books: a Financial Analysis
    E-readers vs. Printed Books: A Financial Analysis Andrew Fraser Markus Linke Russ Reilly Justin Rosales Daniel Rossman Abbey Staffnik Mohammed Tarin Berman Tijerino Robert Wellman Prepared in partial fulfillment requirements in CEE 300 – Engineering Business Practices Dr. Thomas Seager, Instructor Arizona State University 31 July, 2012 Executive Summary An e-reader allows individuals to download books via a Wi-Fi or cellular network, and read them on an electronic display without having to print them on paper. Since e-books are generally less expensive than printed books, over a period of time the purchase of an e-reader may pay for itself depending on the consumer’s reading habits. To decide whether or not the purchase of an e-reader is cost- efficient, a cost analysis must be done to compare investing in an e-reading device to the alternative of buying printed books. In this analysis, the net present value (NPV) of an e-reader is compared to printed books, and an annual discount rate is determined where the initial investment of the e-reader becomes less expensive than purchasing printed books. The types of readers accounted for in this discussion are light readers, reading six books per year, average readers, reading twelve books per year, and heavy readers, reading approximately twenty-four books per year. At some point in the future, the investment of purchasing an e-reader becomes the most cost-efficient method of reading for every reader. The question on every potential buyer’s mind is how long will this investment take before the benefits are realized, and is the investment worth it? The popular Kindle e-reader is chosen to analyze e-readers vs.
