Paged and Flowing, and other display settings

There are two ways to read, chosen with the Flowing / Paged switch. Your choice is remembered per exam.

• Paged — the text is laid out on page cards, like a printed book, with a Page X of Y counter. This is what the Pages tab in Contents navigates.
• Flowing — one continuous column, like a web page. Scrolling past the end of a chapter opens the next one.

Phones are always Flowing. The switch, and the page-layout settings below it, are laptop and tablet controls — they are not hidden away on a phone, they simply do not apply. That is deliberate: page cards on a 390-pixel screen fit about a paragraph each.

Page settings

The gear menu holds the layout options:

• Spread — Single page, or two pages side by side (odd or even spreads).
• Scroll layout — Vertical or Horizontal.
• Columns (Flowing view) — One column or two, on wide screens.
• Appearance — System, Light or Dark.

Choosing a Spread or Scroll layout while you are in Flowing switches you to Paged, and the menu says so before you pick.

Text size

The − 100% + cluster resizes the text between 85% and 160%, and the percentage itself is a button that resets to 100%. It reflows the words rather than magnifying a picture of them, so your highlights stay attached to the right sentences. On a phone or tablet it is the Text size row in Reading tools.

Fullscreen

Fullscreen hides everything but the book, and opens a slim rail of tools you can show or hide. It is not offered on iPhone, where Safari has no fullscreen for web pages; iPad and laptops have it.

Note that fullscreen puts you in Annotate mode and puts you back as you were when you leave.

On a phone all of the above lives in the Reading tools menu next to Contents.
