Pocketbook 360 questions

HarryT · 12-25-2009, 03:37 AM

A couple of questions from a new user:

1. Using the ADE software, when you follow a hyperlink, is there a way to go back to where you were? I can't find a way to do it (other than to set a bookmark before the jump, and then go back to the bookmark).

2. How the ****** do you get out of the chess game? In the end, I had to turn the machine off to do so!

Very happy with the machine so far!

To no 2 re chess - I've read before that someone had a problem quitting from this. If you have your off switch key mapped to go back to the menu on a short press then you would be able to quit the game without turning the machine off. How it should work is beyond me.

You can exit the chess game by long pressing the lower pages button; it should have assigned the "exit" function by default.

You can withdraw from any book or program, a long time hold down the two large buttons.

I have the power button short-press programmed to the recently-read list.
Calling the list from inside the apps will take you to the book in question even from inside the games.

When you are done with the page you jumped to, press the hyperlink button again. There should be a link in the top margin which will take you back if you click on it. I've encountered some footnotes that toggle back and forth between the superscript in the text and the actual note.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. If I click on a hyperlink which takes me to a page that does not itself have a hyperlink on it, then clicking "down arrow" (the normal "hyperlink" button) just displays a message that says "there are no links on this page".

I still think that sea-battle should be oriented the other way 'round. And a little documentation would go a long way with that game. Maybe I'll do it myself after these family days!
