Navigating a book

There are multiple ways to navigate through a book quickly:

• Page Flip

• Go To
Page Flip
Page Flip lets you preview other pages in a book without leaving your current page or losing your
place. To open Page Flip, tap the top of the screen to display the Reading Navigation toolbar, and
then tap one of the Page Flip icons at the bottom of the screen.
The first icon allows you to preview one page at a time. The second icon lets you preview nine pages
at a time (only available in selected books). You can also swipe from the bottom of the screen while
reading to jump right into Page Flip.
Once in Page Flip, press, hold and drag the circle forwards or backwards, or tap on the progress bar
to preview a new page or location in the book. Use the arrows or swipe within the preview pane to
flip through your book page by page.
Tips:
• To skim through chapters, tap the arrows.
• To return to your original location, tap the X on the preview pane.
• To re-centre Page Flip on the page you were reading, tap "< Page #" or "< Loc #" at the
bottom of the screen.
• To go to the selected location, tap the page you are previewing.
