~ Book Links Under Your Profile ~

How to add a book link, which helps you find books – for example, your favorite library, bookstore, or free book site, such as Project Gutenberg, which offers over 40,000 free ebooks: choose among free epub books, free kindle books, download them or read them online.

◈ On your Profile Page, go into “(edit profile)” (Screen #1, red arrow).

     Screen #1
    

◈ On your Account page, click on “book links” (Screen #2, red arrow).

     Screen #2
    

◈ Under “book links” some links have already defaulted in. You can remove a link.

◈ By using the triangle up or down arrow, (Screen #3, yellow arrow) you can organize
     them in any order you choose (such as alphabetical or most frequently used).

     Screen #3
    

◈ By scrolling through the list on the right, you can choose an existing link.
     In this example, we are selecting “Chicago Public Library” (Screen #4, green arrow).
     However, if you click on that link now, it will take you to CPL.

◈ Instead, click “add” (Screen #4, red arrow).

     Screen #4
    

Special Note: It looks like you can set this list by “alphabetical” or “popularity.”
     However, I couldn't get the “alphabetical” function to work at first. Then I noticed
     if I pulled in another country - such as AU {Australia} - then select “alphabetical,”
     and then select US, it worked. (Screen #4a)

     Screen #4a
    

◈ After adding, your selection will appear at the bottom of your list. (Screen #5, green arrow).

     Screen #5
    

Screen #6 shows the list after CPL (green arrow) has been moved into alphabetical order.
     Also added was Project Gutenberg (blue arrow).

     Screen #6
    

◈ Now, when you go to a book’s Home Page, you can click on “book links” and the menu
     that drops down will show your added sites. (Screen #7: CPL = green arrow, Project Gutenberg =
     blue arrow, “More...” = orange arrow.)

     Screen #7
    

Screen #8 shows the availability of the book on the CPL website.

     Screen #8
    

◈ If you suspect a book might be free, such as a classic, you can now easily check
     the Project Gutenberg website if you have added it (Screen #9).

     Screen #9
    

Screen #10 shows the different formats available for your book at the Project Gutenberg website.

     Screen #10
    

Screen #11 shows the GRs “More... Screen.”

     Screen #11
    


◈ To add a new link, go back to your Profile and Account page and click “add a new link” (Screen #12, red arrow).

     Screen #12
    

Screen #13 shows you the Create a New Book Link page. Fill in appropriately.

     Screen #13
