3. Discovery of your Bookeen Diva HD e-reader
This chapter will help you become familiar with the basic operations of your Bookeen Diva HD e-
reader, such as discovering the E Ink® screen, using the touch screen and buttons, understanding
the pop-up menu and connection principles.
3.1 Forward page and backward page
Press the buttons on the right side of the screen to turn the pages.
3.2 E Ink
®
screen
The Bookeen Diva HD e-reader has a remarkable black and white screen that uses a revolutionary
technology, i.e., the E Ink
®
electronic ink screen. This screen is like a page of paper made of tiny
ink particles that can move and change the display of content in an instant. This screen flashes
(very fast display of a black screen) at regular intervals to refresh these particles and thus
maintain the best possible contrast between black and white. An e-ink screen is endowed with an
extremely low power consumption mechanism. This consumption occurs mainly when the ink
particles are organized on the page to display a text or an image. Once the content of the page is
displayed, consumption is almost zero. The E Ink
®
display technology therefore allows the
Bookeen Diva HD e-reader to brag about a battery life that can last for several weeks.
Note: Even if your battery is empty, your e-reader may continue to display an image on the screen. If your device seems
blocked, first remember to plug it in to recharge the battery.
3.3 Touch screen interface
The touch screen of the Bookeen Diva HD e-reader is built on a capacitive technology:
This touch screen may be operated only with fingers or a suitable stylus.
The screen is very sensitive and you don't need to press hard to make it react.
In fact, the screen is so sensitive that it can respond even if you touch it lightly (like a
caress).
The Bookeen Diva HD e-reader touch interface follows a few simple and intuitive rules outlined in
details below.
Light touch: You may select or confirm a choice by simply touching the screen with your
fingertip. As mentioned above, you don't need to press hard on the screen, just touch it lightly.
