The HyperReader server attempts to read Bookreader format documents and present them as hypertext documents. Also refer to the description (including the limitations) of the server.

Document Pages

The Hypertext interface should be intuitive enough to use. Documents are presented as a series of "pages", similar to Bookreader. The title of the book is presented across the top of the page, a series of buttons allow easy navigation of the book, a horizontal rule divides this header from the page content, another horizontal rules divides the end of the content from another series of navigation buttons.

Table of Contents

The document is opened showing the Table of Contents. From here any portion of the book can be selected.

Navigation Buttons

The series of buttons are displayed top and bottom of each page, when highlighted as a link provide provide direct access to other portions of the book. They are clearly labelled and require little explanation, apart from possibly:

Hotspots

Bookreader documents include hotspots, allowing the reader to jump to other portions of the document. HyperReader implements these as highlighted links.

Figures and Graphics

Images are presented inline or as "popups", as per Bookreader. In addition there are two buttons immediately following any image: These allow the individual images to be retrieved in either format. This usually results in the browser creating an external viewer for the image. From here the image may be retained on-screen while reading other text, or saved, etc. for other uses.

Close Button

This button returns the browser to the shelf the book was opened from.
