Guide to Reading Books with Screen Reader and Explore by
Touch
When the Screen Reader and Explore by Touch are turned on, you can use gestures and Text-to-Speech
to read and interact with your book. When you open a book, Text-to-Speech will automatically read your
book and turn the pages for you.
You can switch between two modes of reading: continuous and non-continuous. Continuous reading will
read all pages in the book, while non-continuous reading will read a page, character, or word on the page
—whichever you prefer.
