Any image that reveals more information will be labeled with a ‘tap for more information’ caption.

• Glossary - any terms that are defined in the glossary are highlighted in bold when they first appear in the book. By tapping on these terms the definition will appear in a box above or below the text. 

• Highlighting and note-taking - use a finger to swipe over any text to highlight it. You can tap a highlighted section and a palette appears allowing you to change colours, switch to underlining, or add a note instantly. Then by switching to the ‘Notes view’ you can see all your notes and highlights organized in one place. From here you can search for, or go back to the highlighted sections of the book.

• Study cards - all your notes and highlights automatically appear on study cards. Tap on them to flip them over, revealing the definition of a glossary term or the note attached to the highlighted passage.
