The "Daily Digest" is an updated listing of new postings, customized to include only genres you preselect, that is delivered to you by email every morning. The Daily Digest is a free email subscription feature at PBS; you can subscribe to it (and unsubscribe from it) in your Account Settings.
How to use the Daily Digest:
How to Subscribe
Log into PBS, click My Account in the toolbar at the top of any page on the site
Click Settings, and on the settings page click the link "Daily Digest" in the yellow bar at the top of the page
Set "Daily Digest' to "on"
To unsubscribe, all you need to do is come back here and change this to "off".
Select your display preferences:
"Include Book Images" (Yes/No)
"Sort by" (group by genre and order alphabetically/group and order entire list alphabetically)
Then preselect your genres:
click to place a checkmark in the box next to any genres/subgenres you would like to include
Some genres are huge (eg, Literature&Fiction) and it is wisest to select subgenres in that case
You can choose any number of genres/subgenres - but it's best to narrow your choices to those topics that really interest you. (With thousands of books Posted every day, a nonspecific Daily Digest email would be overwhelming to try to view, and not very useful.)

You will be taken to a page on the PBS site customized by you!
If you have chosen to view the books by genre, click a genre in the box at the top of the page to view the books in that genre.
If you have chosen to view the books alphabetically, they will be displayed alphabetically by title on the page.
The Daily Digest is designed to include only currently-available books
Because of the (approx. 1 hour) lag in the servers synching up there may be an occasional book that is shown that is not currently availeble (=someone has already requested it, within the last hour).
You can choose to see all of the books posted in the 24 hour period by clicking the link at the top of the page to change the display option
