The tab bar is located directly below the heading and contains the tabs that represent the three main screens of the application. These tabs are labeled Bookshelf, Get Books, and Now Reading.
The tab bar is not displayed when you enter the categories located within Get Books. To learn more about Get Books, see Section 2.2.2.
All the audio titles that you have downloaded to your device are listed in Bookshelf, the first tab on the tab bar. These titles are organized into two folders: Audio Books and Audio Magazines.
Books that you have downloaded, including music materials and foreign-language audio titles, will be listed in the Audio Books folder, while audio magazines that you have downloaded will be listed in the Audio Magazines folder.
When you log in to the app for the first time, you will begin in Get Books, which is the second tab on the tab bar directly following the Bookshelf tab. It allows you to access material on BARD and browse recently added audio books and magazines and most-popular audiobooks. Items in these categories, as well as those on your wish list and previous downloads list, can be downloaded directly to your device.
In Get Books, you can also visit the BARD website to add titles to your wish list. Books on your wish list in BARD appear on your wish list in Get Books.
The Now Reading tab is the third tab on the tab bar. If you select this tab with no book or magazine selected to read, TalkBack will announce “no book is currently selected to play,” and you will be asked to select a book from Bookshelf.
The Now Reading screen for audiobooks and magazines is oriented similarly to the NLS digital talking-book player. Buttons used on the application resemble the buttons on the player, with a few exceptions.
