Introduction

Franklin Reader is the Windows CE program that lets you read, search, and bookmark reference material, Bibles, and books published by Franklin and its partners. This Guide describes how to:
• Use the Booklist
• Recognize icons and menus
• Set preferences
• Navigate within books
• Search within books
• Place bookmarks
• Get help

Usage Hints

1. Before using Franklin Reader on the Windows CE 2.11 platform make sure that the applications are allowed to change the input panel state. Select Start > Settings > Input Panel and check the box to the left of the “Allow applications to change the input panel state” inscription.
2. You can highlight only the text that is currently displayed on the screen. The Select All option on the menu is therefore shown grayed-out.
3. If you wish to immediately restart Franklin Reader after exiting, it is recommended that you wait a few seconds. Otherwise, the book that is opened upon restart may be the next to last one you were read­ing, not the last one.
4. Opening a book may take some time. Do not tap the display while the book is opening.
Note: The screen illustrations you see in this User's Guide may differ from what you see on the screen. The screens you see may vary depending on the device you are using or the database file that you download.

Using the Booklist

Tap on the Menu bar to open the Application Menu. To open Franklin Reader, select Franklin Reader. If you did not

The first screen you see is the default Home screen for the open book. To exit the Booklist, tap for Windows CE 2.11 or Cancel for Windows CE 3.0. If you did not open a book previously, you return to the Launcher screen. If you did open a book previously, you return to the last screen viewed.
Note:
You can return to the Booklist from anywhere in the book by tap­ping on the toolbar.
Note:
Long names are abbreviated in the Booklist. To see the full name of a book, tap it. Then tap the name in the Title bar in the upper part of the screen. The full name is displayed in a dialog box.
