Manual

Thanks to the touch screen, you simply tap briefly on the cover of the book you want 
to read in order to open it. You’ll see the first page of the book in no time. To browse 
forward, you must tap on the right-hand area of the screen 

1

. Instead of touching 

the screen for browsing, you can also swipe your finger across the screen to the left 
(if you’re more familiar with this action from your smartphone). To browse to the pre-
vious page, you must swipe to the right or tap on the left-hand area of the screen 

2

.

If you don’t like the current book, just go to the home page and open another book 
from your library. To learn how to purchase the latest books or the classic you’ve al-
ways wanted to read, see Chapter 5, “E-Books for your tolino”.

Between the book titles of your library and the status bar, there is another important 
button in the upper left-hand corner of the home page—the 

Menu 

 button. This 

will take you to various settings options. I will provide information about important 
settings in the relevant chapters.
