Guys I have just installed the e library in my computer again and it's gone mad

this is the full screen view

and this is the samll screen

what have i done how do i get back my normal look ? ?

Don't panic.

Just click on the little square icon with the arrows in it. It's the one at the bottom of the page, - the first one on the right-hand side of the bottom.

I use this view all the time: it gives a good idea of what the text looks like on the reader. You can switch between views by clicking on that icon.

With a thread title like yours, I was expecting a little more drama.

Tried that and it wont go back to the normal view with the list on the left side and then the ebook store in a window on the right ?

Interesting. So what does happen when you click on the little square button?
(which is the enter/exit full screen view button.)

...or try the escape key ("Esc" probably on the upper left corner of your keyboard.)

Cheers,
Bob

F11 also gets out of full screen mode to normal view.

Take a rotten tomato, and shake it at the screen while yelling, "You lousy BUM! Get back to normal right now or I'm gonna paste yer lousy mug with this tamater!"

It will immediately go back to normal after letting out a yipe!

Pressing F11 only toggles between the two views pictured

Esc does nothing the only way to close the library is using the windows task manager

When i press on the little square button it just changes views between the two pictured

it sounds as though you had better reinstall Ebook library then. It certainly isn't behaving as it should. Since you say the problem started after a reinstall, it seems that may be the problem.

Or maybe it's a bug.

Another forum member has reported exactly the same problem here:

It may be worth contacting Sony for advice. Do let us know what happens.
