Getting eBooks

Bookshelf

Your bookshelf is the first screen that appears upon opening UB Reader, and it contains all of the books you have purchased or imported.

The Search icon is useful for finding specific books, either by author or by title, and is great for large collections.

The Contextual menu provides options for adding books, program settings, and more:

• Adobe ID – Entering in your Adobe ID and password allows you to add DRM-protected eBooks, which you can then access from the Digital Editions section.
• Updates – Allows you to view and download any updates made to UB Reader.
• Settings – Displays the Settings menu.
• Import books – Initiates the automatic or custom import process. Incompatible formats will automatically be converted using any available conversions (see below).
• Help – Displays this help documentation.
• About – Provides information on version number, software licenses, and EULAs used by UB Reader.

You can add a new bookshelf using the New icon from the bottom menu. This allows you to create collections of books to your liking.

When you first launch UB Reader, it will automatically populate your collection with eBooks it finds locally on your device. You can repeat this process at any time by selecting Import. Alternately, you can select File/folder to import eBooks from specific locations.

UB Reader will automatically convert files to compatible formats using purchasable conversions.

The following formats will automatically be converted to ePub: AZW, AZW3, CBC, CBR, CBZ, CHM, DOCX, FB2, LIT, LRF, MOBI, PDB, PML, PRC, RB, TCR and TXT.

The following formats will automatically be converted to PDF: AI, BMP, CSV, DJVU, DOC, DWG, DXF, EPS, GIF, JPG, ODG, ODP, ODS, ODT, PCX, PNG, PPS, PPSX, PPT, PPTX, PSD, PUB, RTF, SVG, TGA, TIFF, WBMP, WEBP, WMF, WPD, WPS, XLR, XLS, XLSX and XPS.

View will display your collection in either Thumbnail or List view.

Finally, choose from a wide range of sorting options (by author, title, or date added), with the Sort by option.
