    R4ds Home brew cart allows the reading of E books
    as regards Arabic haven’t the foggiest
    the R4DS is easy to use the books just drag and drop into a folder then follow these instructions.

    7) Read the eBook

    Select the eBook in the game menu, and open it by pressing ‘A’ key or touching the icon.

    It will ask whether to create a bookmark if it is the first running. Pressing ‘A’ key or touching the ‘Confirm’ button will create and then open the bookmark; Pressing ‘B’ key or touching the ‘Cancel’ button will not run the process; Pressing ‘X’ key or touching the ‘Ignore’ will open the eBook without creating the bookmark (The bookmark’s function is invalid).

    Press ‘START’ key to exit the eBook mode and back to the main menu.

    Click “SELECT” key to switch the character layout horizontally on dual screens, vertically on dual screens or on one screen (mostly used in Asian layout); Backlight turns off under one screen mode in order to save power.

    Press the ‘Up/Down’ key can process the Row Up/ Row Down; Press the ‘Left/Right’ key can process the Page Up/Page Down.

    Press ‘A’ key can open/close the intelligent-paragraph division function.

    Press ‘B’ key to change the font (large, Medium, Small in rotation)

    Press ‘X’ key to change the font color (27 color in rotation).

    Press ‘Y’ key to change the row spacing (From 1-8 point space in rotation).

    eBook support the DIY background:

    Create 2 BMP files (256X192 pixels, 8 bit or 24 bit colors), name them to be “bckgrd_1.bmp” and “bckgrd_2.bmp”, and then save to the “_system_/eBook” directory of the TF card.

    If the bookmark has been created, the features below will work:

    Whenever you press the ‘START’ key to exit, it can memorize the location where you have read automatically, and it will go to the location directly next time while you open the eBook.

    Press ‘L’ key to save the bookmark (3 positions available), press ‘R’ key to keep the previous bookmark (No any change).
