Navigation inside our books is super easy! There are a couple of ways to go about it, depending on whether you're reading an Immersive Story, a regular book, or an audiobook.
Immersive Stories
Some of our books, the ones on our Immersive Stories shelf, have multiple ways that you can read.
To read with sound, light, and haptic effects that bring you deeper into the story, you can "unmute" the book using the Mute/Unmute button in the book menu.
If the story is unmuted, sound will play in the story as you read!
If you'd rather read more like a traditional book, you can "mute" the immersive effects and it will allow you to scroll through like a normal book with no sound or effects.
All Books
Please note that books not on the Immersive Stories shelf will not have a mute icon.
Clicking on "Chapters" will let you jump to a different chapter, or unlock chapters in bulk.
Clicking "Display" will let you change the book from Light mode to Dark mode, and make the text smaller or larger.
Clicking "Comment" will let you chat with other readers about the chapter you're currently reading.
Audiobooks
Galatea currently offers Audiobooks in English and German! Navigating audiobooks is just as easy as navigating through the other books we have.
When you open an Audiobook on Galatea, you'll have the option to open the chapters and switch the book to dark mode in the upper right, instead of the bottom menu.
At the bottom of the screen, you'll have the option to turn autoplay on or off. This will determine whether the app automatically unlocks and opens the next chapter for you. Please Note: Audiobooks are, at this time, an exclusive feature to Galatea Unlimited subscribers. Points can not be used to unlock or autoplay audiobooks.
You can also Play/Pause the audiobook, change the speed that the audio plays, or skip 15 seconds forward/backward.
