The free was created in-house by Browns Books UK-based team to adhere to modern accessibility standards. Users will no longer need to install Adobe Digital Editions.
How to access VLeBooks
After logging in to your VLeBooks account and searching for and finding your e-book, please:
- Select the download button, choose your loan period and then select 鈥榁Le App鈥� as the application you would like to use.
- When you click download again you will be instructed to 鈥楪enerate new access code鈥�, a link which, when selected, will provide you with an access code that you should copy.
- Once you have installed the VLeBooks App please select the option to 鈥楥ontinue with access code鈥� and then paste in your access code. Your title will then display on the VLeBooks App home page and you can click this to opt for online or offline reading.
A short guide to downloading is available in the 鈥榁LeBooks App User Guides鈥� section of the pages.

- You will only need to enter your access code the first time you use your device.
