Page 648 - Windows 10 May 2019 Update The Missing Manual: The Book That Should Have Been in the Box

Just double-click a PDF or EPUB (ebook) document. Windows proposes

opening it in Edge; if you agree, it opens, clear and uncluttered. The
experience varies slightly:

PDF documents. Click or tap to reveal the toolbar. Its buttons let
you scale the page up or down, rotate it, switch to a two-page
layout, hear it read aloud, print it, save it, or expand it to full

screen.

To move through the pages, use the mouse, trackpad, or your finger
on the touchscreen as usual—or tap the Page Up and Page Down
keys (to move a page at a time) or the arrow keys (a line at a time).

Tip
If you’ve used the switch to turn off Continuous Scrolling, then tapping the down or right arrow
key scrolls a full page at a time.

Ebooks. At one point, Microsoft attempted an online ebook store;
it flopped, and Microsoft closed it in May 2019. But you can still
read non–copy-protected ebooks in the EPUB format from any

source in Edge. The Hub ( ) offers a Books tab, which lists any
such books you’ve installed.

The toolbar at top has buttons for Table of Contents, Notes, Search,

visual adjustments (such as font, size, background color, line
spacing), Read Aloud, Grammar tools (see the Tip that follows),

bookmark, and Full Screen. Figure 9-11 shows the idea.

Tip
If you opt to download the Grammar Tools app, this toolbar button offers a drop-down panel of
assistive-reading options. Syllables adds hyphens between all syllables on every page of the
ebook; some read-ers pro-bab-ly find that eas-i-er to read.
The Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives switches highlight every occurrence of those parts of speech on
the page—again, in an effort to help struggling readers.
