4.3 Flipping through Your Book

 

The new multi-page rapid flipping user interface allows you to flip multiple pages at varying speeds, depending on a number of factors such as how fast you click your mouse, on which portion of the page you click, and of course your CPU speed and other hardware resources. You can also “pick up” pages (or hold pages) of your book, just like you would pick up or hold a page of a real book. In addition, while you hold a page, you can move that page left or right to compare it with other pages, or pick up more pages of your book.

 

To start flipping a book:

 

Left click anywhere on the page when the mouse cursor changes to . A single click will cause one page to be flipped. Further clicks will do 1 of 2 things depending on where the click is and which direction the pages are flipping.

 

Case 1: Pages flipping from right to left

 

a. Clicks on the pages on the right will cause more pages to flip.

b. When pages are flipping, a click on any page on the left “splits” the flipping pages where the mouse cursor is.

 

Case 2: Pages flipping from left to right

 

a. Clicks on the pages on the left will cause more pages to flip.

b. When pages are flipping, a click on any page on the right “splits” the flipping pages where the mouse cursor is.

 

“Splitting” means all pages to the left of the mouse click will flip in the direction from right to left and all pages right of the mouse click will flip in the direction from left to right, in effect opening up the pages of the book.

 

Note: You may see blank pages when you first flip multi-pages of your book. This is because the pages are not loaded yet. Simply let the pages settle and they will load. This phenomenon is dependent on your system resources. You can also set the amount of memory space for image buffering under Options->More Options->Advanced.
