How to Delete a Book or Audiobook
- From Home, Recently read, or My Books, just tap and hold the cover image of the book you wish to delete.
- Choose Delete from the menu that appears.
If you wish to re-add a book or audiobook that you deleted, just find it in the Your NetGalley Shelf section of the app and tap the Download button again. If the book no longer appears in Your NetGalley Shelf, then the book has likely been Archived by the publisher in NetGalley.
How to Renew a Book
Many publishers enable an expiring license for their books on NetGalley. You will see a number of days remaining on your license in a gray box at the bottom of the cover image thumbnail. Most licenses last for 55 days, and can be renewed at any time before the book is archived in NetGalley.

While PDFs are paginated by default since our Android version 1.3.0 update, if you prefer to scroll up and down through your PDFs, instead of turning right to left, you can always change this by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right, where you'll then see the "Scroll" settings, which can be toggled off.
