Reading eBooks

Reading an eBook in UB Reader is designed to emulate reading an actual book as closely as possible.

To browse between pages, simple drag left-to-right or right-to-left from the edges of the screen. Alternately, you can tap near the left and right edge to quickly flip to the next/previous page.

Holding down on the text will trigger the text selection tabs, which can be used to highlight words. You can drag the selection using the selection tabs. Once you're happy with your selection, you can perform a number of actions using the text selection:

• Copy – Add the selected text to the Android clipboard, which can be used in other apps.
• Note – Add a note to the selected text, which can be viewed from the Annotations section.
• Highlight – Highlight the selected text.
• More:
  • Dictionary – Look up a single word using an installed dictionary.
  • Search Google – Look up the selected text online using Google Search.
  • Search Wikipedia – Look up the selected text on the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia.
  • Share – Share the selected text using any of the sharing options provided by your Android device.

To display the Navigation Interface, tap anywhere near the middle of the screen.

This will show the book's title and author along the top, as well as:

	Search – Find any instances of the entered text in the book. Voice searches can be performed by tapping on the microphone.
	Annotations – Will open up a tabbed interface that displays any Bookmarks, Notes, and Highlights that have been added to the book.
	Bookmark – Will add a bookmark to the page. Bookmarks can be accessed from the Annotations section.
