0. Download* and setup your video-book.
*To avoid data loosing / corruption, you may need a download helper; for example Download Express (plugin for IE; free; about 250 Kb) or Net Ants (ad-driven; size about 1 Mb) or similar. These applications will get every byte of the downloaded file.

1. To open a particular page of this book, select a topic* in the "Table of Contents" (figure 1), or roll the "page-ball" to the required page number (figure 1/2). Also you can turn the pages with [Left] and [Right] keyboard cursor keys.
*In case page title in the TOC is truncated or undescriptive, hover your cursor over it for page text preview.

2. To control the embedded movies, you use the "play" (figure 2), "pause" and "rewind" buttons on the playback control panel. Alternatively, you may pause and resume the movie with keyboard [Space] bar.

3. You navigate a movie clip, by clicking on its progress bar (figure 3). The balloon hint over your cursors shows target time. The digits under the bar refer to corresponding text paragraphs. Click on a digit to jump exactly to the beginning of the proper movie fragment (figure 3/2). To fast forward / backward the movies use [Up] and [Down] keyboard cursor keys. For slow back- / forwarding (sometimes even a fraction of second matters) use [Shift+Up] and [Shift+Down] shortcuts.

NB In most cases, you need just 5 keys to control your video-book - 4 "arrows" and [Space] bar.

4. By default, the movie clips occupy the right half of the screen. In this mode you can read the text and see the animation at once. To see the movie at full size click the "expand" button (figure 4). To show the text, click this button again. Alternatively, you may toggle movie mode with keyboard [TAB] key.

5. Normally, a movie clip stops at the end. To make the clips play as a single full-length movie click the "chained mode" button (figure 5). To return to the single-movie playback mode click this button again.

6. To go backward / forward in your history (as you do it in Web browsers) click the proper "arrow" (figure 6) on the "History" button. Or click the "History" button itself to display "recent pages" list and choose a topic (figure 6/2).

7. To search for a word in the text or subtitles, click the "Search" button at the top. Press "Find" button one or more times until you encounter the searched fragment of the page text or of the subtitles. Then click "Go to page..." button to jump to the found page or movie fragment (figure 7).

8. To bookmark the current page or movie frame, click the "star" on the "Bookmarks" button (figure 8) or press [Insert] key. To open a bookmarked page / movie fragment display the "Bookmarks" panel and click a bookmark button. To delete unnecessary bookmark just click its "close" button (figure 8/2).

9. To adjust the sound volume click a "lath" next to the "speaker" pictogram (figure 9). To temporarily mute the book, click the "loud speaker" itself. To allow sounds, click it again.

10. To adjust font size display the "Options" panel and use "+" and "-" buttons to increase / decrease the font (figure 10).

11. To print materials from this e-book, open the "Options" dialog and choose a printing option. "Page Text" only prints text of the current page. "Text & Movie" prints the page text and current movie frame (requires "landscape" orientation in your printer settings). To print out the entire e-book, click "All Pages". Alternatively, you may open "text.txt" file from our sample folder with a text processor, and use custom font and printing options.
