Global Reader Content Provider Instructions

Publisher clients with accounts can preview their own content before it is available for sale. We will whitelist one of your computers and assign a user name and password to enable this feature. Once you receive access, follow these steps:

1. After you login you will first see the Dashboard. This includes recent transactions involving your content. Book publishers should then click on the Manage tab, followed by Books.

2. From the Books area you will see a list of your content: ID, Title, Author-First name, Author-Last name, Views, Purchases, Status, Published.

3. When you put your cursor over one of the books you will see a tab "Delete" on the right. Don't unless you really want to remove it permanently!

4. Click anywhere else in the line for the title you want to view and it will open Edit Book. All controls flow from here.

5. In the General screen you will see all the book description information, type, price, etc. you probably won't make any changes here except price. If you make any changes, click on Save.

6. Select the Content tab. From Here you will see the chapter listing (including all sorts of sections; e.g. FM, BM)

7. From here when you put your mouse cursor over a line you will see View Pages on the right. Select this.

8. Select one of the pages (sometimes there is only one).

9. Once you have selected a page you will see a new tab just below General Content Stats. This is Preview Page.

10. Click on Preview Page. This will open Global Reader mobile emulation in a new tab or window of the browser. From Global Reader you will be able to navigate the book just as if you had purchased it. (Note: Internet Explorer does not make a good emulator. To see the closest approximation to true mobile use Firefox or Safari.)

Note: individual page names may appear to be somewhat unusual. This is because they take their title from the first few words on the page. Pages are broken by an algorithm that counts characters/paragraphs. It's more for convenience of the mobile user, since there isn't the same definition of page as experienced in print books.

To notify us when your books are ready to be publicly distributed, send at email to activate@global-reader.com. Include book IDs for content you wish to activate.
