What BorrowBox is for

BorrowBox is a reader and audio player for titles that a public library lends out digitally. You sign in with your library membership details, so it only works if your library offers the BorrowBox service. The listing shows more than 1,000,000 installs.

The catalogue covers four kinds of content: eAudiobooks, eBooks, eMagazines and eNewspapers. It suits library members who want to borrow digital titles from their phone or tablet rather than visit a branch.

Borrowing eBooks and eAudiobooks

Borrowed eBooks and eAudiobooks can be read or played inside the app. The listing says there is no separate download or extra step to start them.

Because the app is tied to your library account, the titles you can borrow are the ones your library has licensed for BorrowBox.

Magazine and newspaper subscriptions

You can subscribe to eMagazines and eNewspapers. Once subscribed, each new issue is borrowed and downloaded without you searching for it.

This is the one part of the app the listing ties to a subscription, so the recurring borrowing applies to the titles you have subscribed to.

Finding titles by language and collection

Language Browsing lists content in several languages and groups titles for different audiences, so you can filter the catalogue to the language you read in.

Curated collections and themes group titles by subject or mood. They are the app's way of suggesting the next book or audiobook to try.

Keeping progress across devices

Your reading and listening position follows you between devices that use the same account. Start a book on a phone and pick it up on a tablet at the same place.

This matters most for audiobooks and longer eBooks, where a single loan may be spread over several sessions.
