3. Basic Skills
This chapter familiarizes you with the basic operations of your Cybook Orizon
such as discovering the ePaper screen, using the touchscreen, using the
buttons, understanding contextual menu and connection principles.
3.1 The ePaper Screen
The Cybook shows an outstanding black and white screen, utilizing a
breakthrough technology: the ePaper Display (by SiPix®). The screen acts
like a paper page made of tiny ink particles which can migrate and modify the
layout of your screen in a second. A SiPix Display achieves ultra-low power
consumption in a thin, light form. This display technology can maintain an
image without any power consumption. Once the image is written, it will
remain indefinitely without consuming any additional power. The SiPix Display
technology is thus energy efficient and drastically reduces power
consumption. Due to its innovative technology, when the screen switches
from an image to another one, the screen goes through a clearing process
which causes a black to white transition.
Note: Image can remain on screen even with an empty battery. So be cautious, don't
forget to refill your battery first when your device doesn't operate anymore.
3.2 Touchscreen interface
Cybook Orizon touchscreen is based on a capacitive technology:
Only fingers or dedicated stylus can work with this touchscreen.•
Screen is very sensitive and you don't need to strongly press on the
screen to make it works.
•
In fact the screen is so sensitive than it can react even if your touch is
very light.
•
Cybook Orizon touch interface follows some simple intuitive rules described
below.
Taping: You can select or validate a choice by simply touching the screen
with your fingertip. As said before, you don't need to strike the screen but
only to touch it lightly.
