Searching inside the book
Well, I've already met a couple of problems with searching on the Glowlight Plus. First, I have some huge omnibus editions and searching within text in those is excruciatingly slow. For example, it is almost impossible to search for anything inside my omnibus of "The Wheel of Time" (all 14 volumes in one edition). I could probably take a bath while my Nook is searching. That was a real bummer (on my Kindles it's almost instantaneous to search for something inside the book and it doesn't matter how long the book is). True, there are very few books as hefty as the WoT omnibus, but still.
Second, and more important, when I search for something in the book, get the results and select one of them, how am I supposed to return to the page I was on? I can go back to the results page, but that's all. Any further tapping of the back symbol will take me out of the book entirely. I've tried for an hour now, but can't find a way to return to my place after I've hopped between search results. Possibly I'm missing something obvious here... |

I can try it with "War and Peace" for you later. Quote:
Basically, just remember what page you were on it is not hard. Last edited by Raphi'Elohim; 07-23-2019 at 07:03 PM. |

I don't find the search function slow really just somewhat slower than the Kindle in my use cases. Last edited by Raphi'Elohim; 07-23-2019 at 07:25 PM. |

There is usually more than one way to skin a cat and this bookmark method would be another workaround. Actually, that is how you would do it in a real book. Last edited by Raphi'Elohim; 07-23-2019 at 07:26 PM. |
