The Sesame Street eBook Reader displays eBook content in your Internet browser just like it appears in a printed book. Let’s look at how you can use the Reader to control your reading experience.
Go to your Bookshelf and click on the "Read" button under the eBook you want to read. Once the eBook loads in the Reader, it will look like this:

 |
These are the main components of the Reader:
|
| Now, let's look at the Control Panel. The Control Panel consists of controls for Play/Pause, Stop, Zoom In/Zoom Out, Full Screen/Normal Screen, Print, My Bookshelf and Play Mode. |
|
 |
The "Play" button sets the page flip in the Reader to Auto mode. This means that the pages of the eBook will flip automatically after a set time. |
 |
Once you’ve clicked on "Play," the button toggles to become "Pause". This "Pause" button can be used at any time to pause the auto reading. |
 |
If you want to start over at any time during your reading, click on the "Stop" button. This will take you to the cover page (first page) of the eBook. |
 |
When you click on the "Zoom In" button, you can zoom into the eBook to look more closely at the details on the page. |
 |
Once you’ve clicked on "Zoom In," the button toggles to become "Zoom Out". The "Zoom Out" button can be used at any time to zoom out and view the page normally. |
 |
When you click on the "Full Screen" button, you can view the eBook in full screen in your Internet browser. |
 |
In full screen mode, you get 100% of your screen area to view your eBook. The Control Panel appears only when you mouse over the top part of the screen. |
 |
When you’re in full screen mode the "Full Screen" mode button toggles to become the "Normal Screen" button. Click on this button to exit full screen mode. |
 |
The "Print" button allows you to print the current eBook page you are viewing. When you click on the "Print" button, a Print Options pop-up appears. Here, you can choose to print one page per sheet or two pages per sheet. |
 |
Clicking on "My Bookshelf" takes you back to your Bookshelf, where all your eBooks are kept. |
 |
Each time you open an eBook, you are shown a pop-up box where you can select the "Play Mode" for the eBook. This sets your preference for how the pages will turn. You can choose to turn the pages automatically or manually. After you set your "Play Mode" preference, click on the green"Play" button to start reading. In "Auto Play" mode, the pages will turn automatically as soon as you start reading the eBook. In "Manual Play" mode, after clicking on the green "Play" button to begin, click on the green "Next" button to turn the pages yourself. Your "Play Mode"preference will be stored in the Reader and applied across all the eBooks in your bookshelf. You can change this preference at any time by clicking on the "Play Mode" button in the Control Panel. If you don't want to see the "Play Mode" option every time you open an eBook, you can hide it by selecting the option, "Do not show this again." |
