Help category, you will find the user manual and terms of use.

formats on this device: PDF, ePub, NP, and PDB (Books and
News) and JPG, GIF, PNG, and TIFF (Images).

REFLOWING CONTENT
Changing the Font Size
Adjusting the font size is possible for most of your reading
materials. Your device will remember the font size for each
book.

If you have enabled writing on PDF’s in your settings (see
Advanced Settings), you must view the document in Original
Layout to use this feature. Changing the font size will remove
the writing tools from the menu.

AF
2. Choose Original Layout, Small, Medium, Large, or Extra
Large from the secondary Menu. The Menu will close and
the font will adjust in size.

D
length of the text increases. The device adds more pages to
hold overflow text. The page numbering remains the same,
regardless of the size of the font. A one‐page item whose
default font has been increased such that it results in
overflow text will not show pages 1 and 2. Instead, the item
will show a first page 1 displaying the first portion of the text
and a second page 1 displaying the overflow text.

NAVIGATING PAGES AND VIEWS
T
AF
Flipping Pages
Flip pages in two different ways:

R

Bookmarking
Bookmarks can be added or removed from any page in your
reading material. When a bookmark is added, it is also added
to the Bookmarks view.

become slightly difficult to track. As mentioned previously,

CLOSING AN OPEN DOCUMENT OR
APPLICATION
There are two ways a document is closed. You can close it
yourself or the device closes it for you. In both cases, there is
no need to worry about losing your work because it is always
saved automatically. It remembers what page you were on so
the next time you open the document, it opens in the same
place.
Close a Task Yourself
T
1. Open the Menu and choose Close Document.
2. The last opened folder appears.
