E-Read Texas is Moving
The E-Read Texas program will be moving to the Boundless app in Fall 2024. The Boundless app will replace the SimplyE mobile app that is currently in use by E-Read Texas libraries. Patrons will still have access to the same e-book and audiobook content they do now, just in a new app.
Where can I find more information about the Boundless app?
Visit the Boundless by Baker & Taylor website. You can also view the recorded webinar from May 2, 2024, which includes a brief demo of Boundless, as well as information about the migration.
When are we migrating to Boundless?
The migration is planned for October 1, 2024, which is the first date the Boundless app will be available to patrons. Participating libraries will receive instructions and training throughout summer 2024.
How do I stay informed about the migration?
All announcements will be posted to the E-Read Texas email list. If you want to be added to the list or to check your subscription, email us at ebooks@tsl.texas.gov.
You can also check the Frequently Asked Questions document which will be updated with new information as it becomes available.
