Reading Pdfs - Kobo EREADER User Manual

There are two ways to use the dictionary: through the Dictionary Selection mode, and by
looking words up individually. Dictionary Selection mode can only be used when you are
reading an EPUB, while the Look Up Dictionary is available to use for all supported file
types.
Dictionary Selection Mode:
1. In your book, press and hold a word on the screen.
2. In a Kobo EPUB, the tool will underline the word and show two circles, one at
each end of the word. Drag the first circle to the start of the word you wish to
select, and then the second circle to the end of the word.
Or: In an Adobe EPUB, simply press and hold the word to select it.
3. Select the Dictionary icon from the options at the bottom of the screen.
4. Your eReader will look up the word you highlighted and will display the
definition.
Look Up Dictionary:
1. Tap the middle of the screen to bring up the Reading Menu.
2. Select the Menu icon.
3. Select Dictionary.
4. Type in the word you would like to look up using the touch keyboard.
5. Your eReader will look up the word you highlighted and will display the
definition.
Note: You can only look up individual words in the dictionary.

Your eReader can read books in different formats, including EPUB and PDF. Most of the
books you read will probably be EPUB books, but sometimes you may want to read
PDFs as well.
