Storage Modes

The library mode is shown at the top of the sidebar on iPad and at the top of the ☰ menu on iPhone. The ⓘ button next to it opens help on the storage modes.

The mode changes automatically, depending on whether the device is signed in to iCloud and whether a network is available.

On This Device

iCloud is not signed in or is turned off for Librique. Books, reading positions, ratings, shelves and edits are stored only on this device and are not visible on other devices.

To turn on iCloud: Settings → account name → iCloud.

Important! Signing in to iCloud. Books already on this device stay where they are and move to iCloud. Books added to iCloud from other devices do not appear right away: the first download after signing in can take a couple of minutes while the system prepares the account. If there are no books on this device, the book list stays empty until then. If similar books are found in iCloud, Librique offers to add the book as a format to an existing one or keep it as a separate book.

iCloud

Books, reading positions, ratings and shelves are stored in iCloud and appear on all devices signed in to the same iCloud account. Books are downloaded to the device when opened. Changes to titles, authors and covers also appear on all devices.

iCloud, offline

Books downloaded to this device are available. Reading positions, ratings, shelves and edits are saved on the device and sync when the network is back. Books added on other devices appear after reconnecting.

iCloud, sign-in required

The iCloud account needs to be signed in again. Books downloaded to this device are available; reading positions, ratings, shelves and edits are kept on the device and are sent to iCloud after signing in.

To sign in: Settings → account name.
