It’s RBDigital’s elibrary of resources that you can take anywhere you take your electronic device.
Whether you enjoy good mystery novels, NY Times bestsellers, biographies or other genres, RBDigital’s eAudiobook collection is for you. You can search by title, genre (African American Interest to Women’s Fiction), create a wish list, see a history of what you’ve listened to, renew through the app and more. Many titles have a sample audio preview you can listen to. You can also place a hold on a book that is checked out. An excellent 9 minute video tutorial is here: https://milibraryca.rbdigital.com/#/help/tutorial
Don’t have time to pick up a print magazine or carry one around, but would like to have a digital one available on the go? Whether your interests lean toward Vegetarian Today or Smithsonian or Kiplinger’s, we’ve got you covered. Your MI membership includes access to 33 digital magazines that you can easily download to your electronic device and read when and where it’s convenient for you. No more due dates to worry about! You can also opt in to receive an email when the newest issue of a magazine is available. Need more information? Go to https://www.milibrary.org/downloads/emagazines-help-guide
To access these resources, download the iOS, Android or Kindle app, create a free account and download what you’d like to listen to or read. (As of June 27th, the RBdigital app replaced the OneClickdigital app for eAudiobooks and the Zinio for Libraries app for eMagazines. You can now read eAudiobooks and eMagazines in a single app, the RBdigital app.)
