New Onleihe Access on tolino eReaders
- Onleihe menu item is now available directly on the tolino
- The new login process makes signing in to Onleihe much faster
- Now it's even easier to borrow eBooks through Onleihe
Digital Library even easier to use
With the latest software update, borrowing and reading eBooks from public libraries on tolino eReaders has become much more convenient. A new menu item in the main menu provides direct access to Onleihe—without having to go through a web browser—and features a much more intuitive interface.
Accessible directly from the main menu
On the latest generation of tolino eReaders, a separate entry for Onleihe now appears under “More.” This leads to a redesigned home page that replaces the previous browser access and blends seamlessly into the familiar tolino user interface.
Tip: Older device models can also use this feature: On those devices, the Library Finder can be accessed via the URL https://mytolino.de/onleihe/ using the built-in web browser.
Find the right library quickly
Using “Select Library", the optimized search takes you directly to the right library. Just enter the location or name — and you’re done. You’ll then be taken directly to the login page of the selected library. After logging in, you can borrow eBooks as usual and download them directly to your tolino eReader. The most recently selected libraries are also saved to simplify the login process for future logins.
