Titles from the Lexis Digital Library are available offline on your phone via the app, or they are downloaded automatically once a book is opened on a computer web browser. To toggle this feature, select "account", "download settings" and switch off Automatic Downloads. 

To access downloaded LDL books from your web browser, navigate to "My Books" then "Downloaded" and bookmark the webpage and add the url to your notes or outline.
