Choosing 'Browse' brings you to an entirely different area of Sue Center. This is where you can read books and email, view slide shows, see files you have created, and read these help files.

Near the top of the Browse window are a series of commands - Define, Jump, Mark, Select, More, Home, Done, and Back.

On the first Browse page you see this: 

Inbox - Incoming Letters
Pictures - Photograph Albums
Playlists - Collections of Songs
Files - Files you have created and the Log
Books - Various works of literature
Outbox - Outgoing Mail
Configure - Changing Settings and Controls
Help - Full details on how to use Sue Center
Trash - Deleted files
Books that have been loaded into the system will be divided into parts and parts into chapters. You navigate down the directory by choosing the next part or chapter. You go back up the directory by choosing 'Back'. No matter how far down you are, you can keep choosing 'Back' to get to the top or the 'Home'. There is also 'Home' to get there directly.

At the left hand side of the screen you see 6 rainbow-colored vertical rectangles for moving up and down through a file. You can go to the very top and bottom of the file, can scroll up and down by pages and by single lines. If you pause over a scrolling rectangle it will continue to scroll until you move off of it.

The books included with Sue Center by default are classics that have proven the test of time. They are in the public domain and were obtained from gutenberg.org.

If you have been reading for a while and want to take a break, you probably want to come back to the spot where you are now. You can set a 'bookmark', give it a name, and then later jump to that marked spot. Choose 'Mark' and you will be returned to the main screen. Enter a bookmark name and then choose 'Browse' again to return to the book. The bookmark will have been set. Later when you choose 'Jump' you will be presented with a list of bookmarks. The one you just created will be among them. Choosing it will magically move you to the exact spot where you were when you first created the bookmark and you can continue reading where you left off!

If the name of the bookmark ends with a letter or digit it will automatically be deleted from the list of bookmarks when it is chosen. If you wish a bookmark to be permanent end it with a punctuation character such as an exclamation point ! or period .

You can see the bookmarks you have by browsing to Configure-Bookmarks. You can delete them there as well.
