We know what you came here for — Everand has one of the largest collections of books available right at your fingertips! So let's cut to the chase and get you what you want: all the books you can handle.

There are two ways you can find titles you're interested in: by searching or by exploring. Which one you choose will depend on what you have in mind for your next great book.

Subscribers to our new Plus and Standard plans will be able to filter search results to locate premium content to unlock. See our article, "Using unlocks with your Plus or Standard subscription," for more information.

Searching for content

How to search

If you already know what you want to read, you'll want to use the 'Search' tool. When you’re browsing Everand's website, you’ll see a search bar at the top of most pages. Meanwhile, in our app you’ll start by tapping the magnifying glass in the menu at the bottom of the screen. 

To start a search: 

  1. Click anywhere in the "Search" bar.
  2. Type an author's name, a book title, or any keywords.
  3. Press "enter", or click/tap on the magnifying glass.

You'll be brought to a landing page that includes some highlights related to your search term from several types of content in our library.  

Filtering search results

Generally speaking, more than one result will appear and we provide filters to help you narrow down your options. The first row you will see lists various content types, such as "Ebooks", "Audiobooks", or "Articles". So, if you were looking for just ebooks related to "cat facts", you would click the "Ebooks" filter from the options listed to only display ebooks that fit your search.

Just below the content types, you will see a row of additional drop-down boxes that allow you to further refine your results by Category, Rating, Language, etc.

Still not seeing what you're looking for? Try our Advanced Search options! 

Exploring for content

Browsing by content type

If you don't have a specific title in mind, no worries - we've got you covered! Just use the menu to click on the content type that strikes your fancy, and you'll be taken to the Overview page for that content library ("Ebooks", "Audiobooks", "Magazines", and "Sheet Music").

By default, the Overview tab will load first and you'll see titles you've saved using our "Save for Later" feature up top. Scroll through the Overview page for recommendations tailored just for you! Interested in a specific genre? Select the "Categories" tab and you'll see a list of available genres for that content type. 

In the Everand app, for a shortcut to our most popular titles check out the Top Charts by selecting the ascending arrow icon next to the home button!

Browsing by genre

Not sure what to read next? You can always explore our library by genre. When you select a category to browse through (such as "Nature"), you'll be taken to an overview page where you can also select the content type. You'll see a few curated lists of titles included like "Recommended for You", "Recently Added", and "Trending Titles".

When you scroll to the bottom of an overview page, you'll find the option to view all the titles within that category. There, you can sort results based on content type and sort titles you see based on its 'bestselling' status, or by titles that have been recently added to Everand!

While our staff cannot search on your behalf or send content directly to you, we are more than happy to assist with any technical issues or questions you may have!
