Navigate through books and files
Use one of the following four ways to navigate through your books or documents:
1. Page Control: located at the bottom of the eBook Reader, the Page Control lets you turn pages and go to a specific page by its number.
2. Table of Contents 
: the TOC control button is located at the top-right corner of the app, among the group of the last three buttons on the toolbar. For files that embed TOC content, it displays and supports navigation by topic selections.
3. Bookmarks 
: the Bookmarks control panel provides creation, management, and navigation. You can create bookmarks while going through books or documents. Later, you can navigate to specific locations using the bookmarks previously created. Bookmarks can also be renamed or deleted.
4. Keyword Search 
: if you know a specific subject that you would like to search for, use the Keyword Search control, from where you can specify keywords or phrase, and define if you want case-matching or not.

Page View Options
You can configure how book contents are presented with the extensive flexibilities provided through the page view options and the zoom options, which are accessible from both the toolbar and the file menus. In this section, we explain how to use the Page View options, which set how the pages are displayed.
Under the View menu from the file menu:
- Single Page View: displays one page at a time
- Two Page View: displays two pages in the width of the viewer window
- Book View: a modified two-page view mode, i which the first page and all odd pages are display on the right
The feature Enable Scrolling works in dependently with all page view and zoom settings. When it is enabled, the pages can be scrolled up/down/left/right. Otherwise, scrolling up and down through a book appear to be more like flipping or replacing a page.
There are two special page view modes:
- Presentation: the current page of an eBook or document is displayed in its entirety in full screen with the Fit Page mode (zoom option, see below)
- Full screen: the application uses the entire screen with the same zoom and page view options you have set for.
Zoom Options

Use the buttons to zoom in or out:

Use the dropdown menu:
- Fit Page: display the entire page area in the viewer window
- Actual Size: display the actual size of the content at 100% zoom option (or no zoom)

- Fit Content: fit the content to the viewer window by excluding header, footer, or empty lines or spaces at the top or bottom of the page.
- Zoom in: enlarge the display

Shortcuts for Page View and Zoom Options
To the right of the Zoom control, there are four pre-configured layout buttons that provide some of the most commonly used pageview and zoom settings for the ease of your use.
