Geoff Sasked
i have an samsung galaxy tab a 10.5 and running Booktopia Reader. when i open book to read the fonts are too small to read. how do i increase the size of these?
1 answer
DavidBooktopia
Hi Geoff,
Thanks for contacting us.
To increase the font size of a book, open the eBook on your device then tap the screen once to bring up the menu. Once you’ve done this, click Settings in the bottom right hand corner. There will be section called "Text Size" and a plus and negative sign that will increase or decrease font size respectively. Tap the plus sign a few times and the font size will increase. If the plus sign goes grey then you're not able to increase the size any more. Once you’ve done this, make sure you click Save in the top right corner to save the changes.
I hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else.
Kind regards,
Jessica

Travelling Karenasked
I downloaded an ebook yesterday using the Booktopia app and stated reading it, but if I accidentally turn my phone sideways it loses my page and goes back to the start of the chapter again. Im starting to get very frustrated with it-can you view the ebooks in any other browsers? I have an iPhone. Thanks

DavidBooktopia
Hi Karen,
Sorry to hear this! If the orientation on your phone changes, the eBook will need to re-format to fit into the new space so it may display less or more text than you were previously seeing.
If you would prefer to read the eBook in a certain orientation on your phone it's recommended that you lock the orientation to avoid losing your place in the book. You can do this by holding the phone in the orientation you would prefer and then swiping up from the bottom of the screen. This will bring up your phone's settings, look for the icon that has a padlock in a circle. This will lock the orientation, and when you're done simply tap this icon again to unlock the orientation.
I hope this helps, if you have any further issues please let me know what your order number is and I'll have someone get in touch with you.
Kind regards,
Jessica

Hi Wilcox
I bought a physical book, have not used their ereader. You might need to ask for customer support or ask google
DavidBooktopia
Hi Wilko,
Tap the screen once to bring the menu up. There's a slider at the bottom, with a circle on the page number you're on. Tap and hold the circle and drag it along the slider until you find the page you're after, then let go.
Hope this helps, let me know if there's anything else I can assist with.
Kind regards,

I have been reading a book I purchased, on my iPhone. Is it possible to continue reading this on my MacBook Pro?
1 answer

Hi Ridgi,
You can definitely keep reading on your MacBook, but you'll need to install the Adobe Digital Editions program. You can find some instructions here: https://www.booktopia.com.au/helpCentre.ep?p=eBooks&o=reader-app#

Hi. I have purchased and downloaded an Ebola Om an iPad mini. When I look at my library there is a 'white book' no picture of the book. If I open it there are a lot of blank pages. I can see an index and the front cover but as I flip through the pages they are all blank white. It tells me there are 300+ pages but I can't see them. Help :(

Sorry for the delay with this order, especially the pre-order title. The good news is that stock is finally on the way from the UK publisher, this is expected to arrive later this week.

How do I self-publish a book on Booktopia?
1 answer
DavidBooktopia
Hi Jason,
Booktopia is a retailer - not a publisher - so we can't publish a book for you.
We source all of our titles from distributors and suppliers and so we'd recommend you try contacting a distributor. There's more information on this in our Help Centre here: https://www.booktopia.com.au/helpCentre.ep?p=affiliate&o=new-suppliers#

Olden greyasked
I have just put Adobe Digital Editions and the Booktopia Reader app on my Lenovo Android tablet, bought a book and EVENTUALY worked out how to down load it there and into my library. Seems to work OK. I see in the questions page here I can view/download the same book onto my PC but the download, while showing I have already downloaded it to the Lenovo only gives me the option to also load it to my LG Android phone but not the PC. Why not please?
You also suggest in one answer to go to the 'Help' area but there doesn't appear to be one.
Also it is awkward to scroll the pages for some reason.
3 answers
DavidBooktopia
Hi Olden grey,
All you should need to do is download Adobe Digital Editions to this PC as well and you will need to authorise it to the same Booktopia account you used on your Android device.
Try downloading the eBook file and as long as Adobe Digital Editions is installed correctly on your PC it should automatically open and ask you to authorise. There are instructions for authorising Adobe Digital Editions in our Help Centre.
If you have any further trouble with it feel free to respond here with your order number and I'll contact you directly.
Kind regards,
Jessica

Hey Naysee,
Have you tried closing the app altogether then opening it up? Give that a go and let me know if you're still seeing blank pages, I'll have someone get in touch with you.

Ekmandyasked
How do I increase text size on the booktopia reader app? I have bought an ebook in epub format and the text is too small to read on my phone.
1 answer
DavidBooktopia
Hi Ekmandy,
To increase the font size of a book, open the eBook on your device then tap the screen once to bring up the menu. Once you’ve done this, click Settings (this should look like a cogwheel on IOS). There will be section called "Text Size" and a plus and negative sign that will increase or decrease font size respectively.
Tap the plus sign a few times and the font size will increase. If the plus sign goes grey then you're not able to increase the size any more. Once you’ve done this, make sure you click Save to save the changes.
If you have any other enquiries please do not hesitate to contact us.

Andrewasked
I work near your distribution centre. Am I able to pick up an order from there or do I have to have it posted?
1 answer
DavidBooktopia
Hi Andrew,
I'm sorry but we don't offer collection, the way we distribute orders doesn't really allow for it. Plus it becomes an OH&S issue having customers on site.
We do often have Free Shipping promotions which we only send to customers signed up for our Newsletters. We have a promotion going on right now which expires midnight on the 13th of June, the codeword is EOFYS and can be entered in at the final stage of checkout under the Gift Certificates, Store Credits and Promotion Codes heading.
I hope you'll consider ordering with us in future and taking advantage of our promotions. Be sure to get in touch if we can ever assist. :)
Kind regards,
Jessica
