The following was submitted today by Johannes Neuer, Director of Customer Experience, the New York Public Library (NYPL).
The New York Public Library has released SimplyE, a new app that gives
NYPL cardholders the ability to browse, borrow, and read more than
300,000 free e-books from the Library, in just a few steps.
The new app, which we will be continuing to improve, brings together for the first time The New York Public Library's ever-growing collection of e-books, and also features recommendations from our expert librarians to help NYPL cardholders find new e-books to download.
To get started, you'll need a New York Public Library card.
Residents of New York City can apply in person for a New York Public Library card or renew at an NYPL location near you, and residents of New York State who live outside New York City can apply by mail.
When you have your NYPL card, download SimplyE for iPhone/iPad or Android, log in with your card barcode and PIN, and start reading.

We're working to add additional features
to the app in the near future, including a Kindle Fire version, a
desktop reader, an mp3 audiobook format, as well as page bookmarking and
text annotations.
If you need help using the app, go to More / Help in the app or visit gethelp.nypl.org to find answers to your questions, such as resetting your PIN. When you begin to use this initial release of SimplyE, we hope to hear from you. You can provide feedback via the app under More / Help / Report an Issue, which sends a message to Library staff for follow-up.
