Search word in book (PB Touch Lux 3)

Bl4ckVoid · 11-19-2016, 09:52 AM

I have looked at several video reviews and also searched this forum but could not figure this one out.

Can you search for a word within the book you are reading? Specifically like this: You tap a word in the book and then find previous occurences within the same book.
On my current Sony PRS T1 this is there and very useful to look up characters I do not remember the details for, this way I can get back easily to when that character is introduced then back to where I was reading. On the T1 you get arrows for this to visit the places where that word is in the book.

If this is available on PB3, how does it work?

(Frequent double page turns and complete lock-ups on my T1 is driving me crazy, I have to replace).

Thanks!

You can search, but it is not as easy as on the T1. You tap in the middle of the page to get the tools UI, tap the icon for searching, type in the word using the on-screen keyboard, and only then do you get the ability to search forwards and backwards for the word (tapping the forward or backward arrow buttons).

PocketBook offers PDF user manuals for their devices on their support pages. You can download the manual for the model you are interested in and see how the device is used.
