Display current read name
Seems like a silly question but how do I find the name of the book I'm currently reading?

I'm running the latest firmware on my Aura HD. If I bring up the menu bars I get the time/date at the top. But, no title name. About the only way I can get the name is to go back to the home page. I have a auto-off cover, so closing the book doesn't help either.

If you have it set to display the current book's cover on suspend/sleep, just flick the power button. You can also set the bottom gear icon of the reader menu Progress bar setting to "full", and you will have a top margin with the book/file name as it appears in the File Manager and the page/total pages. Remember you can long press a selection to get the option to set it as the default.

Luck;
Ken

OOps... sorry I didn't look closely enough, I thought you were using KOReader.

Thanks. That works. Sort of round-about, but this is the electronic age where everything is easier

With a cover I never see the sleep screen. And, I've sort of forgotten where the on/off switch is

Thanks.

This might be slightly quicker.
Tap centre of screen so top/bottom menubars display.
Tap top-right icon (3 horizontal bars) - shows Date/Time
Tap it again - shows book Title.
