Your library

The library is the page that lists every reading you have started. Click any reading to open it. The reader picks up at the word you were on.

Local-only and saved readings

Readings have one of two homes. Some live in your browser only — they are listed under a small local only label. Others live in your account and follow you across devices.

Local-only readings disappear if you clear your browser data. Saved readings stay until you delete them.

Archive vs delete

Two ways to clear a reading off the active list:

• Archive keeps the reading. It is removed from the main list and lives under an archive section, ready to be restored.
• Delete removes the reading and its audio. The space is recovered at the next cleanup pass.

The library uses archive when you are not sure; it uses delete only when you are.

Search and filter

The library has a search box and a small set of filters: status (in progress, finished, never started), date last opened, and the source the reading came from. The search matches both titles and the body of the reading.

Offline access

A reading you have already heard is available offline. The audio is cached on the device that played it. The library page shows which readings have audio cached locally.

Generation always needs a connection, because that is when the audio is being made. Once the audio exists, the reading can play without one.
