Once an item has been borrowed, the app automatically starts downloading the content, so it can be available offline.

After the download is complete, you can read the publication without an internet or Wi-Fi connection, and even in airplane mode. Borrowed items appear in My Account > Loans under In-App Reader and Available Offline filters.
If needed, you can remove the borrowed PressReader content by selecting Remove from either the Loans display or the Item Details Display. This clears up any downloaded content.
After reading PressReader content in the app, returning to the home screen displays a bottom tray that lets you quickly jump back in and continue where you left off. If you prefer not to see this, tap the X to dismiss it. You can still access the content from the Item Details screen or from your Checkouts at any time .
