## What is Living Reader?

The Living Reader app is both eBook reader and audio player for all digital content purchased through the Living Reader website, adding your purchases to the digital bookshelf, showcasing other Living Reader titles within the Discover area, and enabling a seamless reading or listening experience through the relevant environment.



The app has no password on login: simply type in the email address used to buy the book on the Living Reader website – and your content awaits in the app, within the ‘My Books’ area, with formats clearly labelled.



With the content in the cloud, downloading requires an initial internet connection, but once downloaded, your books can be enjoyed to your heart’s content, both on and offline.



THE AUDIO-PLAYER WILL:
• Auto-save your current position in the book – so that you can pick up right where you left off.
• Allow for skip forward/backward to recap where relevant
• Offer sleep timer option
• Play on lock-screen, enabling easy access to playback controls
• Play in background whilst browsing other apps
• Play immediately, and download in the background (provided internet access is available)



THE EREADER ALLOWS FOR:
• Page book-marking, opening the title at the right place when you pick up.
• Font-size changes, as well as dyslexic-friendly font
• Background colour changes
• Full text search

### 1/5 — App Does Not Work

*2026-02-07*

I purchased quite a few digital books on sale only to discover that this app does not work. I can’t download or open my ebooks. I’ve contacted help desk and I’ve been told to be patient. It is very disappointing indeed. I just gotta take the loss.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-01-28*

I purchased 3 books and was excited to be able to read them however I cant. Everytime I try opening one it closes the app

**Developer response:** We are very sorry to hear this! Our customer service team will be happy to help, if you could please email them at help@glassboxx.com and include your device details.

### 1/5 — Problems with Living Reader

*2024-09-24*

This app is deficient in two respects: 1) it is grossly slow while running Mac OS 15.0 on my Mac Studio; 2) it provides no means to use the keyboard for progressing from reading one page to another page; I must use my trackpad. This app is extremely disappointing. Plus, the Glassbox web site provides no means for allowing users to report problems.

**Developer response:** I am very sorry to hear this! I can confirm you can reach out to our customer service team at help@glassboxx.com. They would be very happy to work through this with you!
