Open to the last read book

danteux · 02-26-2014, 08:11 AM

Hi,

Is there an option to set Ebook viewer to open the last read book on clicking the viewer shortcut, at the place I stopped reading?

Thank you for the help

Right click the view button it will give you a list of previously read books, choose the top one, it will open to where you stopped.

Thank you kovidgoyal, the View button with the list of previously opened books is fine and I open books that way but I was wondering if it would be possible to have the last book opened on starting Ebook viewer application instead of having a blank screen?

If you mean after starting viewer independently, click the arrow next to the blue diskette icon in the viewer toolbar.

Thank you for the answer BetterRed! Yes, I meant after opening the viewer independently I thought it would be nice if the book I last read opened immediatelly. I know that I can open the book by choosing the title in the drop down list next to the blue diskette but it is a few clicks more as I need to choose the book first and since I prefer to read in full screen need to click again to start reading. If the viewer opened the last book all it would take is one click on the viewer's shortcut. I normally read one book at a time and do not often need to open other books so that may be an individual preference and other users may find this feature unnecessary.
I know it's not a big deal really and sure doesn't take away from this brilliant program but anyway, if the solution is not too complicated it would be a nice feature to the program.
