How to use:
Browse the free "Online Library" for ebooks that you are interested in. Tapping on the item will take you the book's description from where you can download the book.
You can see which books are currently downloading in the "My Downloads" tab. Downloads can be cancelled, paused and resumed.
In the "My Books" tab you can browse and read the books that are stored on your iPhone. When a ebook is opened for the first time you will be taken to the subject index for that ebook. This list can be scrolled or you can use the Text box to quickly navigate to the subjects by typing their name.
Page Turning: The Previous and Next buttons allow you to move through the book's pages sequentially.
Hyperlinks: If the TomeRaider ebook contains links to other pages then you can navigate through the history of those links using the arrow buttons, which will become highlighted.
Image zooming: When there is a large image in an ebook, a small version of the image is created and displayed inline with the text with a magnifying glass icon overlaid. The original large image can be viewed in a separate image viewer by tapping the small version.
Rating ebooks: You can rate ebooks by clicking the "Actions" button on the subject index view. Books can only be rated once.
