Touch Stuck in left-hand mode! Help!

rjcroy · 10-22-2011, 05:06 PM

I decided to change to the left-hand page turning setting (the right most option) so I could page turn with my left thumb.

But now I want to change back, but I think I am stuck! If I tap the left of screen the page turns forward. If I tap the middle of the screen the page turns forward. If I tap the right of the screen the page turns backward.

So how do I bring up the settings bar to change options now!?

Open a book and tap at the bottom of the screen to bring up the menu. Select the Spanner and then Advanced Settings.

I haven't tried 1.9.12 (My Kobo broke the day before the beta came out

) all that I can think of trying is long pressing a word to bring the dictionary up an then clicking menu (I think there is a menu option in that page)

Ahh, the bottom of the screen! I have never had to do that before.
Thanks PeterT!!

If you look at the diagrams, you will see that the various selections impact not just where the right and lefthand tap parts of the screens are located, but also where on the screen you tap to bring up the menu.

I should have studied this page more carefully!
Cheers everyone.
