All of your purchased eBooks and audiobooks live in your bookshelf. If you just bought a book — or came back after a while — and can’t find it, work through the sections below in order. Most “missing” books are simply being looked for in the wrong place or under the wrong login.
Where your bookshelf lives
On the web: go to app.book.io/bookshelf and sign in or connect your wallet. Book.io and Stuff.io share a Unified Digital Library, so eBooks and audiobooks bought on either site appear in both places automatically.
On mobile: open the Book.io Reader App and tap Library at the bottom left. Don’t have the app? See Where can I find the Stuff.io & Book.io App?
Signed in with the right account?
Your bookshelf only shows books owned by the account (or wallet) you’re signed in with. If the shelf looks empty:
- Check the email shown on your profile — is it the account you used at purchase?
- If you bought with a different email, log out and back in with that one.
- If you paid with a crypto wallet, the book is attached to that wallet — see the next section.
Books bought with a crypto wallet
Wallet-held books appear after you connect that wallet:
- At app.book.io/bookshelf, click Connect Wallet and pick the wallet that holds your books. Full steps per chain: How do I access my media on the Stuff.io / Book.io desktop using my wallet?
- Make sure you connect the same wallet you used at purchase — a different wallet (even from the same provider) shows an empty shelf.
- The first time you open each book you’ll be asked to Verify Ownership — that’s normal and happens once per book. To link the wallet to your account permanently: How do I link my wallet to my Stuff.io & Book.io user?
Looking for videos or music?
Book.io is exclusively eBooks and audiobooks. Videos and music purchased on Stuff.io live in your Stuff.io library (app.stuff.io or the Stuff.io Player App) — they will never appear in the Book.io Reader.
Just purchased and it’s not there yet?
- Refresh the page (or pull to refresh in the app), or log out and back in.
- Card purchases appear once the order confirmation email arrives; wallet purchases appear once the transaction confirms on-chain — usually within a few minutes.
- Confirm the purchase went through under the account or wallet you’re currently using.
Still can’t find it?
Open any book with How do I open my Media?, or ask the support chat on this page — include roughly when you purchased and whether you used an email account or a wallet, and we’ll take it from there.
