Additional Features
There are additional features available such as Bookmarks and Notes. They work very much like those outlined above. Once you've played with these, using the other features will be transparent. Just remember you can't break the device just by tapping on logos and features.
Resetting the Device
Every once in a while the REB 1100 might get too confused to work. Performing a reset will usually set the device to rights. Use a straightened paper clip to push in the reset hole in the back of the device (inside the media bay cover, see above). The REB 1100 is most likely to get confused when someone starts hammering on one of the page up/page back buttons, repeatedly, with no pauses. It can also occassionally get confused when loading a new book.
