If the myON app is installed on a tablet or Chromebook and if the device is connected to the internet, there are two ways to download books from the myON library: from within the myON app, or while working in myON in a web browser.
Downloading Books from Within the myON App
- Open the myON app by tapping (or clicking) on the icon on the device.
- Sign-in as a user on the myON app.
- Tap (or click) on the Add Book icon in the app window (the icon varies on devices):

- To download the book, tap on the green Add To… button.
- In the iPad and Chromebook apps, a grey icon with the book title will appear in the app window and a circle or horizontal bar will display the download progress. When the download is complete, the circle or bar will disappear, and a portion of the book cover will display in color.
In the Android and Kindle Fire apps, you will see the book cover with a red "Downloading" message. Once 20% of the book has been downloaded, the message will turn green. When the book is fully downloaded, the message will disappear.
