What is book view?
We're happy to introduce book view, which allows you to read your Oxford Digital product online in a reader that mimics the look of the printed book.
This allows you to follow along in class with a printed book and see the same exact content on your Oxford Digital interface.
How to access book view
To access book view, navigate to the desired book in your Library, then click "Read" to begin using the book.
Once you're in the book interface, click "Book view" in the top-right corner:
This will bring up an overlay that looks exactly like the printed book. The current position within the regular view will persist, and after you close book view, you'll return to where you were before opening book view.
How to navigate book view
Book view looks like this, similar to a PDF of the printed book. You can choose to view a single page, or two pages side-by-side. You can zoom in or out, and navigate using the Page buttons, or the scroll wheel.
Important to note that the page numbers in the interface are for the current module pages, and don't match up to the printed page numbers. You can check the print page number by looking at the page number in the bottom corner of the page. For example, if the module is 12 pages long, you'll only see page 1-12 listed in the navigation, even if it's page 100-112 in the printed book.
Closing book view and navigating between modules
Once you close book view using the "X" button in the top right, you'll return to the page you originally opened book view from. To go to the next chapter, use the module navigation panel on the left.
Please note that you can't navigate through the entire book in book view. You'll need to close it, and navigate using the menu, then re-open book view within the desired module.
It's also worth noting that you're not able to freely "toggle" between book view and standard view. Once you close book view, you'll return to the previous screen where you first opened it. In other words, the reader doesn't sync your progress between view types.
Book view does not contain any interactives or additional resources compared with the printed version of the book.
