Downloading from the Store

There is also an option in the Store to download books from your account. If you have previously hidden titles in your Library (see steps in the Library article for hiding resources), they can only be downloaded from the Purchased Books area of the Store. 

  • Select 'Purchased Books' from the left sidebar. If your left sidebar is hidden, you can also access your books by selecting 'Store' in the bar across the very top of the screen and then 'Purchased Books'.
