In short – MyLiveBook is an eBook delivery and viewing solution allowing you to access, read and annotate digital content.

MyLiveBook is the eBook delivery platform developed specifically for us in the Learning & Education marketplace by LiveBook Limited – part of the KnowledgePoint group of companies.

MyLiveBook allows users to access the courseware relevant to their training courses via web, IOS or Android.

With the capability to highlight text, add comments to your text and type notes directly onto the pages of your content, MyLiveBook enables you to make best use of the courseware.

There are two options through which you can access your eBooks using MyLiveBook:

• Web Reader: Access your eBooks from any web browser
• Mobile App: Available for iOS and Android, fully synchronised with your web reader activity with the ability to continue your study offline

• You can create a new account by navigating to www.mylivebook.com/register and completing the details on screen
• Alternatively you can create an account using your Facebook, Google or Microsoft account. Simply navigate to www.mylivebook.com and select your preferred option

All content you have been provided access to will be displayed in the My Content tab of MyLiveBook once you are signed in. Content is added to your account through the use of access codes.

In order to activate content in MyLiveBook your training provider may give you an access code (a 36 digit alpha-numeric string). An access code provides you with learning content and will be added to the My content section of MyLiveBook once signed in. Access codes can be redeemed during the sign-up process, or by selecting Add content once you are signed in.

• Add highlights and comments to your text
• Type notes directly to the pages of your content
• Resize content to suit your viewing preferences
• Auto bookmark – returns you to the last page you were reading no matter which platform you are using
• Chapter and/or page navigation

• Search book content
• Search highlights, comments and notes

If you have an access code at the time you sign up to MyLiveBook then you can copy and paste the 36-digit string (ensuring there are no trailing spaces) into the access code field during the sign up process. The content will then appear in your account upon login.

If you already have a MyLiveBook account and you need to claim an additional access code, then you can do this by selecting “Add content” and copying and pasting the access code into the field (ensure there are no trailing spaces).

If you have an access code that provides an error message, then please speak to your trainer or contact MyLiveBook support who will check the validity of your access code. Please note a user will only be able to redeem a code that has content which is age appropriate to the users account.

In order to access your content, you must first have claimed an access code. Once you have claimed at least one access code you will see your content under the My Content tab on the MyLiveBook home page. Click on a title and the content will open in a new tab in your browser window. As you add more content to your account you will see the additional titles listed. You can use the search box to quickly locate titles or tags associated with your content.

You can navigate through your content using:

Now hover your mouse over a highlight colour and click the edit button that appears next to it. Type in the new name for the highlight and click save.
