Touring the Boost eBook Reader Interface
When you open an eBook for the first time, you'll be offered a tour of the menus and tools available in the Boost eBook reader.
You can view the tour again at any time by clicking the question mark in the top right corner of the reader interface.
Print View
There are two 'views' in the Boost eBooks reader: print view and interactive view. You can switch between these views at any time by clicking their icons on the pull-out tab on the right side of the screen.
Print view includes the following features:

- Table of Contents: an interactive breakdown of the eBook's units and chapters.
- Activity Log: a list of your annotations and highlights. (Annotations and highlights can only be created in the interactive view.)
- Resources: a list of resources linked to the eBook you're reading.
- Image Gallery: a list of images in the eBook you're reading.
- Flashcards: a list of revision cards you've made to access and play through. (Flashcards can only be created in the interactive view.)
