3.1. Start and pause a book

Press the "Selector" button on the front end until you hear the announcement "Books".
Now you are in the right application. To start the reading, press the "Play" button in the
middle of the keyboard. Milestone 212 starts the first book it can find. To pause the
playback of the book press "Play" again.

3.2. Navigate in a book

Instead of listening the whole book from start till end you have the opportunity to navigate
in a book. Depending on which kind of book you are listening there are different options to
navigate. A list of all possibilities you find listed below.
You can use "Rec" and "Mode" to check what kind of navigation options are available.
Press "Rec" to go up in the list and "Mode" to go down in the list. Let us assume you go to
the option "Phrase jump". Now you can use the arrow buttons to navigate phrase by
phrase. So if you press the "Left arrow" you jump back to the start of the current phrase. If
you press it twice you jump at the start of the previous sentence et cetera. If you use the
"Right arrow" you jump to the next sentence. If you press it twice you jump 2 sentences
forward. So in every option you can use the arrow buttons to navigate or make a selection.
Please be aware that most books do not provide all navigation options. The number of
available navigation options depends on the type of book and how it is edited.
All possible navigation options you find in the following list:
Navigation option
Phrase jump
Time jump
Jump to next or previous phrase by using the arrow buttons. A
phrase is the smallest navigation possibility and for example may
correspond to a sentence. The exact definition depends how the
book was published.
Jump 2 minutes of reading in the desired direction by using the
arrow buttons.
