Flowing Text & Original Pages
Books are available in two viewing modes. In Flowing text mode, the text of the book is wrapped according to Sero 7’s screen size, which allows you to read most books clearly even on a screen that is smaller than the original physical book. In original pages mode, the original scanned image of the book is displayed, which is useful when viewing on a larger screen, or when the contents of the book do not render well in Flowing text mode.
To change the viewing mode, tap Menu icon 
and tap the Flowing text or Original pages. For some titles, only one of these two modes may be available.
