Installing books to PocketBible for Mac OS X

PocketBible for Mac OS X has the ability to download and install books into itself directly from within the program.

It's much simpler on your Mac.

To install books into PocketBible for Mac OS X, select Cloud Library from the Books menu. Find the book you want to download and select it. After a few moments, the book will be downloaded. You can select more books to install at that time or you can close the Cloud Library window and continue to use the program while it downloads.

Once the book has been downloaded, select Open Book from the Cloud Library window or Open Book from the Books menu. Find the book you want to open and select it. The book will be opened into the active pane.

You can remove a book from your Mac by going to the Cloud Library window and selecting it. The program will ask you if you want to remove it.
