Grayscale display: See your electronic books, training documents and personal content complete with images.

Backlit screen: Adjustable brightness and contrast controls allow reading anywhere, even in the dark.

Variable text size: Increase the text size for easy reading.

Shortcut: A frequently used feature (e.g. auto-update, zoom font, search, sleep, settings) may be dynamically associated with the "shortcut" button on the eBook device to provide one-touch access to a user-selected feature.

Bookmark, highlight and make notes: Use the touch screen to mark pages and passages and take notes.

Search: Tap on a word in the text to find other occurrences of that word or enter text to search using the dropdown onscreen keyboard.
