Ask a Librarian

The O’Reilly mobile app gives you unlimited access to books, audiobooks, videos, live courses and events, and playlists on the go, and it’s where you can download content for offline viewing. Available for iOS in the Apple App Store and Android on Google Play and Amazon.

Can I use O’Reilly on my Kindle?

Most e-readers, including Amazon’s Kindle devices, prevent the installation of third-party applications. Due to the nature of our business, we can only distribute content through our own apps—for more or less the same reason that Spotify songs can’t be played in iTunes, for example.

Can I sideload the O’Reilly app onto my Android device or Amazon tablet?

If your Android device is unable to connect to Google Play or the Amazon Appstore but otherwise meets the requirements for installation, you can download an APK for sideloading onto your device from this link. Please note that sideloaded apps don’t automatically receive updates, so you’ll need to keep track of that yourself.

Does the mobile app offer text-to-speech functionality?

Yes, our text-to-speech feature lets you listen to any book directly from the reader in the O’Reilly mobile app (iOS and Android). It’s a great way to absorb material when reading isn’t convenient. Here’s how to get started.
