      E-Book Tips

      E-reading devices and software are all slightly different. Depending on what you’re using, try double-clicking or tapping on illustrations to make them full-size. Links (underlined and also in blue on color devices) allow you to navigate inside the book and occasionally to visit outside websites. Other devices provide a built-in table of contents that provides the same benefit. Be sure to learn the features of whatever program or device you’re using. While we can’t always make sure that every feature works in every e-reading program, we do invite you to let us know if there’s something that isn’t working for you by emailing us at editor@timespinnerpress.com.
