Request Switch bottom on E-Ink side

It is designed to be and it is still only able to be for switching between an E-book and a journal file. But if I can define easily and instantly the two (or more) files I need to switching around (maybe both are E-books), it will be very helpful.

Hi Henry,

Actually it does a little more now. It is meant to switch between different applications using the Reader screen. If you are on Dingo, a long press of that button brings up the wall paper privacy screen. If you open the calendar app and handwrite an agenda or to-do list, you can toggle between an open document, and open journal, and an open calendar. So, it is really for switching between applications, not documents. We have had a good number of requests to be able to have more than one document open, so maybe we will get there in the future.

Will the SDK have a description of how another app using the eInk display can include itself in the "chain" of apps the button can loop through? Or is this somehow an automagic feature?

The intent is that the SDK will allow the button to switch to other apps as well.
