How to Buy RYA eBooks

Read eBooks purchased from the RYA website in the RYA Books app on three devices

After buying an eBook from the RYA website, you'll receive an email confirmation. New eBook customers will also receive login details and install instructions for the RYA Books app. If you're an existing customer, your eBook will automatically be added to your RYA Books account.

RYA members are entitled to a discount on the RYA website.

Buying through the RYA website also gives you Online Access to eBooks through your web browser. 

Please note: Your RYA Books login is separate from the RYA website login.

eBook Subscriptions

Purchasing an eBook subscription package is an alternative to buying individual eBooks.

These affordable packages provide access to all relevant material for the different RYA training schemes. RYA instructors receive access to additional value-added material for any subscription purchased, based on their instructor credentials.

You can purchase eBook subscriptions through the RYA website.

In-app purchases are made through the RYA Books app for iOS or Android – no RYA Books account required

After downloading the RYA Books app for iOS or Android, you can browse the categories and purchase an eBook "in-app". You'll need to sign in with your Apple ID or Google account.

Depending on your device, your payment is processed by Apple or Google, not the RYA.

If you want to take advantage of your RYA Members' discount, please buy your eBooks through the RYA website instead.
