Keep your current reads and most treasured references at your fingertips. Discover how to mark titles with the favorite heart icon for instant one-tap filtering in GemReader.
Why Favorite Your Books?
In every personal library, there are a handful of titles you return to constantly: a reference handbook for work, a novel you read every evening before bed, or an active research monograph for a current class.
Rather than digging through folders or typing search queries every time you open the app, favoriting a book puts it into your personal top tier. With a single tap on the heart filter, your bookshelf filters immediately to display only your essential titles.
What You'll Need
To favorite your books, ensure you have:
• **Platforms**: GemReader installed on your Android or iOS device. • **Prerequisites**: At least one book imported into your library.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Open GemReader to your **Library** view. 2. Touch and hold the cover of the book you want to prioritize, or tap the **⋮** three-dot menu icon on its card. 3. In the action sheet that appears, tap **Add to Favorites** (marked with a heart icon). 4. A warm heart badge will appear on the book cover corner, confirming that it is marked as a favorite. 5. To view all your favorited titles in one place, tap the **Favorites** pill (with the heart icon) in the library toolbar directly beneath the main header. 6. Tap the **Favorites** pill again at any time to return to your complete library.
Helpful Tips & Common Questions (Librarian's Advice)
• **Batch Favoriting**: If you have several books to favorite at once, long-press the first book to enter multi-select mode, tap additional titles, and tap the heart icon in the top selection bar to mark them all in one step. • **Persistent Across Collections**: A book remains marked as a favorite even if you move it between nested collections or subfolders. • **Un-favoriting Finished Titles**: When you complete a reading project and wish to rotate your shelf, simply long-press the book card and tap **Remove from Favorites**.
