Local library
PlayEpub can read any epub file in your Playbook. Just copy your ebooks and start browsing. You can even download epub‘s using integrated external library browser.
File Browser
Once your books are in Playbook open PlayEpub and you will see main screen, Local Library. Available epub files in your Playbook are in the file browser at the bottom/right zone, the File Browser. Navigate through your folders until you find the book you want and just tap it to open.
You can sort and filter browser files with:
Filter files by name.
Sort files by name.
Sort files by file creation date.
You have always direct access to the folder path you are in:
Just click on the desired folder in the “folder navigation buttons” to quickly go to that one or on “..” folder to go to parent one.
Make a long tap on any epub file to show file options menu.
You can organize your books with copy, paste, cut, rename and delete options. If file is a ZIP file you can extract epub files in that zip (if any). You can also create a new folder.
When deleting, all related information to that book will also be deleted (bookmarks, notes, reading point…).
When cutting or copying, go to desired destination folder and long tap again to paste.
Last option “Import all“, appears only when tapping on folders and lets you open all the epub files in that folder (not in subfolders).
