PRS-T1 Can't type accents?

carnivroar · 01-24-2012, 05:34 PM

How come even when I switch to different keyboard layouts I cannot write accents? Or am I missing something? That's the only feature I hate about this ereader.

Well, I don't know what accented letter you're trying to type but my UK keyboard will let me type an accented version of a character by doing a long press on the key.
E.g. if I long press the 'e', I'm offered a mini pop-up of 'e' grave, acute, circumflex or umlaut.

Fantastic, it works. That's what I needed to know. Thank you.

Hey, that's brlliant - what about x50's ? Anyone know ?(readerless at the moment.)

It's the same on the x50. At least on mine. I do have PRS on them though, if that makes any difference.

Excellent thank you for the tip
