Getting Audiobooks
Bookmark works with any audiobooks that are on the iPod app in your iPhone or iPod Touch.
The simplest way to purchase audiobooks is through iTunes on your computer. Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store:
Once in the store, click on "Audioboooks" on the left side of the window:
After you purchase one or more books and iTunes has downloaded them, they will appear in the "Audiobooks" section
of your Library:
To make sure the books are synced to your iPhone, connect your iPhone and click on the "Music" tab. Make sure "Audiobooks"
is checked under "Sync music":
When you next sync your iPhone, the new audiobook(s) will be ready to go in Bookmark!
Other options:
You may purchase audiobooks on your iPhone by starting the iTunes app and choosing "More", then "Audiobooks". You may also purchase from Audible which has options for monthly plans, or download free public-domain audiobooks from sites like Librivox.
Bookmarks and Notes
To create a bookmark anywhere in the book, just press the "Bookmark" button. You can customize the title by tapping in the
top title field. To add or edit notes, tap the "Edit" button above the notes field. You can add URLs or phone numbers to
notes which will become clickable once you save the note.
After you tap "Save", the bookmark will now be available by clicking on "Bookmarks" in the upper-right of the window.
The bookmarks window lets you quickly listen to any bookmarks by clicking on any "Play" icon. You may edit the bookmark
or view notes by tapping anywhere outside the "Play" icon.
To delete a bookmark, either tap "Delete" after tapping the title of the bookmark, or just swipe your finger from left-to-right
over the bookmark and tap "Delete".
Sharing and Exporting
To share your bookmarks and notes with others or export it for yourself, tap the "More" button, then "Email bookmarks".
A text summary of every bookmark and note will be formatted for emailing. Unfortunately, it is not technically possible at this time
to save the audio of a bookmark for sharing. However, future versions of Bookmark will let you import and export real Bookmarks that
are clickable and editable.
Tips and Tricks
Bookmark remembers the latest point you've ever listened to in a book. If you jump backwards in a book by clicking on a bookmark or by scrolling backwards, you can jump forward to the latest point by tapping "More", then "Jump to latest time". If for some reason you want Bookmark to forget that latest time, just tap "Reset latest time".
To see the entire title or author's name for a book (if either one is too long), just tap the title or author and they will scroll left.
To get a better view of the book cover, tap it to zoom in, then tap it again to zoom back out.
