PRS-T1 Google ebooks work nicely in browser

diddy · 01-18-2012, 02:14 PM

Hi,
I just tried today to access my Google ebooks through the T1 browser (books.google.com/ebooks) and it actually works quite nicely. I opened a sample books and could use the page navigation.
Currently the tallest text size is just about readable on the T1. I hope in future they change this.

Does somebody know if the browser has a full screen mode as well?

Another thing I haven't figured out yet is how to use the highlight option (Google just introduced this nice new feature). The T1 always seems to interpretate it as a page swipe. Is there a way to change this behaviour?

Best regards,
Diddy

To clarify: I was referring to the Google HTML5 online ePub reader.

One question: The Google HTML5 online ePub reader allows to make highlights. The problem is that if you swipe your finger on the T1 it is interpreted as a page turn. Is there a way to change this for the browser?
