Appearance Settings

The eReader utilizes two separate file types: PDFs and EPUBS. Due to differences in each of the file types, the Appearance Settings menu has been catered to that file type’s capabilities. In this section, you will see the Features located on each of these menus.

ePub Appearance Settings

Located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, the Appearance Settings menu can be found here.

Clicking on this button will open the Appearance Settings Menu.

The first section deals with font size. Here you can increase, decrease or pick a set font size. The Magnifying Glass icons will decrease or increase the font size to your needs (anywhere from 20% to 200%). Each click will increase or decrease the font by 20%. The drop-down menu found between these buttons lists every possible font size and lets you click directly on the size you like.

Theme

The second section allows the user to change themes to make the text easier to read. The following themes are employed: Default, Sepia, Night, and High Color Contrast. Clicking on one of these options automatically converts the book into that color scheme.

Font

The third option allows the user to change the font of the book. There are several options to choose from. These options are Default, Old Style, Modern, Sans, Humanist, Monospace and OpenDyslexic. Clicking on the font name will automatically convert the text to that font.

Letter Spacing

The fourth option is Letter Spacing. This option allows the user to alter the spacing between letters. The viable options are Default, Tighter, and Looser. Simply choosing an option automatically changes the spacing.

Line Height

The fifth option allows the user the ability to change the distance between lines of text. The user can choose between the default option, 1.5 and 2.5. Picking one of these options changes the line height immediately.

Margins

The sixth option gives the user an option to change the size of the margins of the pages of the textbook. One can choose between default margins, narrower margins, and wider margins. When an option is selected, the margins are instantly reformatted.\

Reset to Default

The final option allows the user to reset the default settings of the previous six settings. Click on this button to immediately change the font size, theme, font, line spacing, line height, and margins back to the default settings.

PDF Appearance Settings

Located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, the Appearance Settings menu can be found here.

Clicking on this button will open the Appearance Settings Menu.

Zoom

This menu allows you to increase, decrease or pick a set screen size and Fit to Screen. The Magnifying Glass icons will decrease or increase the font size to your needs (anywhere from 20% to 200%). Each click will increase or decrease the font by 20%. The drop-down menu found between these buttons lists every possible font size and lets you click directly on the size you like. Clicking on the Fit to Page icon will allow the page to resize itself so it can fit widthwise on the screen.
