2.4 Setting up your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader
INITIAL START-UP
The initial start-up involves plugging in the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader, charging the battery, and
switching the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader on and off.
Plugging in the e-reader and charging the battery
The Bookeen Diva HD e-reader comes with an internal rechargeable Li-Polymer battery which
gives it a very long battery life (battery life that can last for weeks); however, the use of Wi-Fi
may shorten this duration. Before using your device for the first time, you will need to fully
charge the battery.
If you have a power adaptor, plug it into an outlet and connect the USB connector of the cable
to the adaptor.
If you do not have a power adaptor, connect the USB connector of the cable to the USB port
on your computer.
Connect the other end of the cable to the bottom of your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader.
Charging time
3 hours: 85%
5 hours: 100%
During charging, the light emitting diode (LED) on the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader emits white
light. When the battery is fully charged, the LED flickers and the charging stops automatically
(there is no risk of overheating).
Warning: An image may continue to appear on the screen of your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader even if the battery is
completely discharged.
Switching the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader on and off
To switch your Bookeen Diva HD reader on and off, use the On/Off button located at the top right
corner of the device.
Switching off
1. “Completely switched off” mode: The Bookeen Diva HD e-reader's screen is white with a
logo in the middle. In this mode, the energy consumption is zero, and your device is
completely switched off. To reach this state, you need to press the power button for three
seconds or that of the “Home page”, then “Settings”, then “General”, then “Switch off
the device”. Answer “Switch off the device” to the question asked by the pop-up window,
and the screen will flicker before displaying the white screen with the logo.
Switching on
1. Switch on after the “completely switched off” mode : To switch on your Bookeen Diva
HD e-reader, press the On/Off button at the top right corner of the screen for at least three
seconds.
2. Switch on after “immediate reading” mode : As the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader is
equipped with a cover, you just need to open the cover flap (like opening a book). The device
will switch on in less than a second and take you back to where you left off. You may also
press the On/Off button.
Putting your Bookeen Diva HD e-book reader on standby
To put your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader on standby, press the power button at the top right corner
of the screen. Your e-reader then goes into “Standby” mode. In this mode, the energy
consumption is very low but not zero. A device in standby mode may switch back on in one
second, allowing you to quickly resume reading where you left off. You may also set up the
standby mode of your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader when it is inactive for a certain period of time
from the “Settings” menu, then “General”, then “Standby”, and then “Enter sleep mode
after”. You may choose to adjust automatic standby after 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes of
inactivity or disable automatic standby by choosing the “No standby” control.
Exiting your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader from the standby mode
To exit your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader from the standby mode, press the power button located at
the top right corner of the screen. Standby exit is very fast and allows you to resume reading in a
second.

the procedure “Switch on after completely switched off” mode to switch on your device (e.g., press the On/Off button).
3. Discovery of your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader
This chapter will help you become familiar with the basic operations of your Bookeen Diva HD ereader, such as discovering the E Ink® screen, using the touch screen and buttons, understanding
the pop-up menu and connection principles.
3.1 Forward page and backward page
Press the buttons on the right side of the screen to turn the pages.
3.2 E Ink® screen
The Bookeen Diva HD e-reader has a remarkable black and white screen that uses a revolutionary
technology, i.e., the E Ink® electronic ink screen. This screen is like a page of paper made of tiny
ink particles that can move and change the display of content in an instant. This screen flashes
(very fast display of a black screen) at regular intervals to refresh these particles and thus
maintain the best possible contrast between black and white. An e-ink screen is endowed with an
extremely low power consumption mechanism. This consumption occurs mainly when the ink
particles are organized on the page to display a text or an image. Once the content of the page is
displayed, consumption is almost zero. The E Ink® display technology therefore allows the
Bookeen Diva HD e-reader to brag about a battery life that can last for several weeks.
Note: Even if your battery is empty, your e-reader may continue to display an image on the screen. If your device seems
blocked, first remember to plug it in to recharge the battery.
3.3 Touch screen interface
The touch screen of the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader is built on a capacitive technology:
This touch screen may be operated only with fingers or a suitable stylus.
The screen is very sensitive and you don't need to press hard to make it react.
In fact, the screen is so sensitive that it can respond even if you touch it lightly (like a
caress).
The Bookeen Diva HD e-reader touch interface follows a few simple and intuitive rules outlined in
details below.
Light touch: You may select or confirm a choice by simply touching the screen with your
fingertip. As mentioned above, you don't need to press hard on the screen, just touch it lightly.
Swiping from right to left: This gesture is used to turn the pages of the library, in a book or a
document, to view the right side of a PDF, or a zoomed image.
Swiping from left to right: This gesture is used to turn pages backward in the library, in a book
or document, to view the left side of a PDF, or a zoomed image.
Swiping from top to bottom: This gesture is used to view images or PDF files.
Swiping from bottom to top: This gesture is used to view images or PDF files.
Swiping diagonally: This gesture is used to view images or PDFs, or turn pages forward or
backward.

7.1 Supported file formats
An eBook file is considered a digital document. It can be a book, journal, user guide, etc. These
documents are distinguished by their type or file format. Different types of formats can be played
on your device. You may identify the file type (Book, PDF, Document, Image) found in the library
by reading the information entered under the title of the book.
ePub file
PDF file
HTML file
TXT file
FB2 file
7.2 Reading a book
On the “Library” page, once you've selected a file or book, tap its cover to open it. The first page
of the book or the last page you read will pop up.
To turn the pages, touch the right part of the screen to go to the next page, and the left part of
the screen to go to the previous page. Using the navigation arrows on the right side of the screen,
or swiping the finger from right to left or from left to right, also make it possible to turn the pages.
Once the book is finished, you cannot go back to the first page by going to the next page.
Some pages contain hypertext links which allow you to go directly to a reference. Maintaining
your finger on the link allows you to go to the desired reference.
7.3 Reading environment
The page not only shows text or images, but also additional information (such as page number,
title of book and author, or indication of reading time) in reserved areas of the screen.
When reading, all you need to do is touch the middle of the screen to bring up a pop-up menu.
The choices offered by this pop-up menu will depend on the file format of the document you are
reading. The reading environment therefore depends on the format of the open document, e.g.,
the context menu of a PDF file is different from that of an ePub file because you cannot change
the font size of a PDF file (See ePub context menu and PDF context menu).
The reading environment for ePub/FB2/HTML/TXT files (with dynamic layout)
Fields of the page
The page header displays the title of your document. For an HTML and TXT document, this is the
name of the file. The footer displays the pageometer. The pageometer is a progress bar which
indicates the progress of your reading. The page header can be hidden via the pop-up menu that
appears at the bottom of the page. As you read, you may also be informed of the time remaining
before the end of the chapter/end of the book by accessing the pop-up menu settings. To resume
reading, touch the center of your screen.
Note: The number of pages is calculated based on the average number of characters per page. So the total number of
pages is not related to the number of screens you have to display to read the entire book. In general, you need to display
several screens to read a page. The direct consequence is that the number of pages does not vary with the size of the
characters.
Dictionaries: dictionaries use the same procedure as “Search in the text.” To search for a word in
the dictionary, just touch the word and maintain your finger on it for one second. Two options pop
up: “Search in the text”, and the dictionary entries corresponding to the selected word. To obtain a
definition, simply select the desired entry.
ePub pop-up menu
The icon displays the time remaining before the end of the chapter and the book and
allows you to directly access certain parts of a document. Using the pageometer allows you to
go directly to the desired entry.

“Bookmarks”.
1. Table of Contents
This feature allows you to find a chapter directly and access it by placing your finger on
it.
2. Quotes and Notes
This feature allows you to add notes. To annotate the text, all you need to do is select
the text box on which you want to write a note. Position your finger at the start of the
selected area and highlight the text until the end. The area will be highlighted and the
annotations interface will pop up automatically. Subsequently, you may write a note by
pressing the pencil icon, or save the quotation text by pressing the bubble icon. You may
change/delete the note by pressing the pencil/bubble icon or directly via the “Quotes
and Notes” tab in the pop-up menu.

your e-reader. You may enable the simplified layout to get a closer rendering of the text of a book
in ePUB format by accessing the pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen. The status bar at the
bottom of the screen displays your position in the document (current page/total number of pages)
and the pop-up menu dedicated to the PDF format.
PDF pop-up menu
Several new functions are found in this menu by pressing the “PDF” icon

You can start the Wi-Fi module from the main menu button on the right side of the screen. Select
“Settings”, and then "Wi-Fi" when the menu pops up. Wi-Fi will automatically try to connect to
an already configured network, or it will detect available networks. Wi-Fi will launch automatically
at startup when the setting is enabled. Once the Wi-Fi network has been enabled the first time
after starting the Diva HD e-reader, your device will connect automatically to the network when it
is switched on.
10.2 Detecting available networks
When connecting for the first time or if no Wi-Fi network has been configured, a menu showing all
the available networks will pop up. Choose the network to which you want to connect. If the
selected network is secure, you will be asked for a password and the on-screen keyboard will pop

If the signal quality is poor or if you are too far from the terminal, the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader
may lose connection. An alert window will open and detect networks to allow you to choose a new
one. If you notice too many time-out messages during your browsing, we suggest you get closer to
your terminal or choose a new terminal.
10.4 Free connection to Wi-Fi hotspots
The page where you have to enable Wi-Fi automatically pops up as soon as the e-reader connects
to a network. If required, you will be asked for a username and password. Once you enter your
username and password, your e-reader will connect to the Internet.
10.5 Updates and downloads

inform you that a new download is available. Of course, you may choose not to download this new
data to your device. However, the question will be repeated the next time you connect.
The update process is automatic and will take less than a minute. A message will pop up on your
screen to notify you when the update is ready to install. Once you accept the update, the device
will delay its response until you are sent back to the Home Page, i.e., after updating. During the
process, an automatic sequence will bring up several messages to inform you of the update in
progress and when it's done.

If you want to turn off Wi-Fi, press the main menu button and select “Settings”. When the menu
pops up, press “Wi-Fi” and then the “Enable Wi-Fi” button to disable it, and the different Wi-Fi

11. Download ebooks from your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader
You may download ebooks directly from your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader by connecting your device
to a Wi-Fi network.

11.1.1 Accessing the library
You may access the online bookstore (Bookenstore, Leclerc...) from the home page of your
Bookeen Diva HD e-reader by pressing the “Ebook store” banner located at the bottom of the
screen. This banner is regularly updated to present recommendations to discover on your ebookstore.
You may also go to the e-bookstore using the main menu button located on the right side of your
Bookeen Diva HD e-reader screen and press the “Cybook” icon (or the name of the e-bookstore to
which you are connected).
11.1.2 Se connecter au Wi-Fi
To visit the e-bookstore, the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader must be connected to a Wi-Fi network. If
you have not yet set up a connection to a Wi-Fi network on your device, or if the configured Wi-Fi
network is not in range, your device will provide you with a list of detected networks. Choose your
Wi-Fi network by pressing the network name.
If your Wi-Fi network is protected, enter the Wi-Fi key using the keyboard in the field provided.
Ensure that you respect upper and lower case when entering your Wi-Fi key.

the pop-up menu, then “My personal information”, “Account used” and “Use an existing
account”. A new page opens where you are required to enter your login details and press
“Connect”.
If you do not yet have login details, press “My account”, “My personal information”,
“Account used” and “Create an account” before filling out the form.
11.2 Download books
Have you found a book you would like to read? Follow the directions in your bookstore to
download the book.
Once validation is done, a download window opens automatically. Wait a few seconds for the
progress of the black bar in this window. The new book will be in the library on the home page of
the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader.
Press the book title to open it. Happy reading!
Important : new files are downloaded directly to the “Digital Editions” folder. The new files also appear in the “Library”
section of the home page.
11.3 Other Bookstores
The Bookeen Diva HD e-reader may be linked to the Bookeenstore or other partner bookstores. To
get help on any other bookstore, please contact the support of the relevant bookstore.
11.4 Type text
In certain circumstances, you may have to type a text in a text field (username, search, etc.).
Type in the text field and in the on-screen keyboard (see On-screen keyboard) which will
automatically pop up at the bottom of your screen.
11.5 Returning to the home page
Open the main menu by pressing the button on the right side of the screen of your Bookeen Diva
HD e-reader and press “Home”.
12. Your e-reader's permission
To download content protected by Adobe DRM, you will need to authorize the Bookeen Diva HD ereader.
The identification process takes place when you try to reach the bookstore, after touching the
ebookstore link on the Home Page and connecting yourself via Wi-Fi. If you are a new user
(without Adobe ID), the process is automatic, i.e., a “Vendor ID” account linked to your
Bookeenstore account and to “eBookPass” provider is created. This account creation process will
authenticate your device and allow you to purchase DRM-protected content.
This Vendor ID automatic account creation option may be uninstalled from your e-reader,
especially if you do not have access to Bookeenstore. You will then need to create or connect an
“Adobe ID” account via the pop-up displayed when opening an Adobe DRM-protected ebook.
12.1 DRMs
DRMs are technical devices applied to digital book files to restrict their use under certain
conditions. Some files sold on the Bookeenstore bookstore (as in other bookstores) have DRMs. To
read digital books with DRMs, you must have an Adobe ID or a Vendor ID (« eBookPass »).
12.2 Adobe ID/Vendor ID/Adobe DRM
The DRM system used by the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader and certain stages of download are
developed by Adobe.
If you are using the Bookeenstore and you are a new user, you will be given a Vendor ID and we
will take care of managing the DRM with Adobe.
If you are not using the Bookeenstore, you will have to create or sign up an Adobe ID account
which will be used to manage ebooks with DRM.
12.3 Creation of an account
When creating your Bookeenstore account, you will be asked for an email and password which will
be used to create your Vendor ID « eBookPass ».
If an Adobe pop-up appears during the creation of your account, you will have two options.
Case 1: If you don't yet have an Adobe ID, you may create one.
Case 2: If you already have an Adobe ID, you will be required to enter the email address and
password associated with your Adobe ID.
Note: Once an account is created and the e-reader is enabled, the account creation page will no longer pop up. If
problems are encountered with Adobe ID, you may follow the link below and click on “Connection problem?”

13. Transferring an ebook from the computer
You may also download an ebook from a computer and copy it to the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader
via a USB cable.
13.1 Installing Adobe Digital Editions (ADE)
Just go to http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-editions.html, then download and install ADE.
13.2 Opening ADE
Once ADE is launched, connect the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader to the computer using a USB cable
so that ADE can offer to authorize the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader with the AdobeID or Vendor ID
login details. The authorization of the device is required to read DRM-protected files.
If you have a Vendor ID, the name of the provider is eBookPass. Your username and password are
the same as the ones you used to create your Bookeenstore account.
The e-reader icon pops up on the left to indicate that it has been recognized by ADE.
13.3 Transferring of ebook from ADE to the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader
After downloading a book with ADE, the book is added to the computer library, and it is possible to
transfer this book to the e-reader by following the steps below:
Open ADE and connect the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader to the computer.
ADE recognizes the e-reader and the icon pops up on the left.
Click/drop the desired book toward the e-reader icon. The book will now pop up in the “Digital
Editions” folder of the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader.
Important note: Authorizing the e-reader for a computer only allows you to transfer files in DRM to the e-reader,
provided you have previously authorized the computer (ADE> Help>Authorize computer) with the same Adobe or
Vendor ID account, before downloading books. Warning: Do not check the box “I want to authorize my computer
without username” when you authorize your computer.
For you to download books directly from the e-reader, you will need to go through the identification/authorization
phase of the e-reader. Please refer to the following section for this: Authorization of your e-reader.
14. Get the most from your e-reader
14.1 Get the most from your battery
Charging the battery
To charge your e-reader, connect it via a USB cable to the port of your computer with the cable
provided by Bookeen. You may also use a USB charger (not included).
Once in a while, connect the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader to an outlet. In so doing, you will keep the
battery always charged. When the battery is fully charged, charging stops automatically. In this
way, the battery will not be overcharged.
Tips for optimizing the battery charge
To optimize the usage time of the battery:
We recommended you switch off the e-reader when it is not in use.
Turn off your Wi-Fi when you are not browsing the Internet
Lighting consumes your e-reader's battery so switch your device off when you no longer need
it.
14.2 Performing a restart
Once in a while, you may need to reboot your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader. Rebooting your Bookeen
Diva HD e-reader is the same as restarting your computer. It stops all running apps, restarts the
operating systems but does not erase any program or data.
Reboot using the reset button (ON/OFF button)
To forcefully reboot your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader, press and hold the power button and press
the “Switch off the device” button which pops up on the screen (the last image displayed remains
on the screen, which is normal). Press the power button again for three seconds: your device will
restart.
