Interesting phenomenon reading P-book - Page 2

Nate the great · 10-16-2007, 10:52 AM

I'm sitting here right now, studying. I have my textbook propped in front of my laptop.

I needed to turn the page of the textbook, so I pressed the right arrow key on my keyboard. Nothing happened.

Try PageDown maybe?

I searched for the space bar on a pbook some time ago...

Hmmm! Sleep reading... Hope none of you drive!

Kidding!

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather. Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.

my weirdest experience was when i was reading some magazine. i stumbled upon a word i didn't know, so i tapped it to open the integrated dictionary/thesaurus.

on a magazine!

Ah! The dangers of reading while approaching sleep.

Do you realize you could be reprogrammed this way. Be very careful what you read!

Yesterday reading outside in the mountains I found myself trying to remove an ant from my iliad so as not to squash it between the pages when I wanted to change pages

LOL. My eyes haven't gotten better over the years, and I am quite happy that I can zoom most of the text I read nowadays. I even read my daily newspaper as PDF today.

I've had to buy my first p-book for a long while.

Can anyone tell me how to charge up the battery, and point out where the on/off switch is.
The shop wouldn't give me any instruction manual.....

Have you found the page turn buttons?

There are buttons ..... (quickly checks - NO ) omg - how do I turn the pages, is it possible they could be 'voice-activated' ?

It's likely to be a DRM model - only one story ....

They do work. Throw the book to a wall and you'll see the pages turn.
