3.3 Moving from Place to Place

You can also get around inside your book or periodical by selecting locations from the item’s Menu, clicking on links in the content, or by using the 5-way controller to go to the next or previous article or chapter.

Using the Menu to Get Around

To go to the menu, press the Menu button when reading a book or periodical. You will have slightly different options depending on the content you are reading. Examples of the menu options are described below.
