Why can't I read online in VLeBooks using my Apple Device?
All our e-books can be read on all Apple devices. However, a known issue with the VLeBooks platform prevents users of Apple devices and the Safari browser from reading online due to Apple's pop-up blocker being turned on by default. The VLeBooks online reader opens in the same way as a pop-up which Safari blocks, believing it to be malicious.
Answer
In order to read any e-book from the VLeBooks platform online, users of Apple devices or the Safari browser must ensure that their browser pop-up blocker is turned off. This is turned on by default.
If you use Safari on an iPhone or iPad, you can disable pop-ups in order to use VLeBooks in the following way:
- Open the Settings app
- Scroll down to Safari in the left-hand column and tap it
- Scroll down the main pane under the General heading until you find Block Pop-ups
- Toggle off Block Pop-ups
