    Device window for your connected Pocket PC.

====================================================
Using the Encarta® Pocket Dictionary
====================================================

When you copy the Encarta® Pocket Dictionary to your Pocket PC not only 
do you have the dictionary available for reading, you also activate the Lookup
feature of the Microsoft Reader.

This feature will appear as an added menu item any time you select a word (or 
group of words) while reading your books or documents.

When you select the Lookup option on the Content Menu, the Reader will use
the dictionary to lookup the definition for the word(s) you selected.  If a match
is found, a result window will appear with the results of the lookup.

Please note that the Encarta® Pocket Dictionary is included with the PC version
of the Microsoft Reader and is automatically installed during setup.

====================================================
Listening to Audible Titles
====================================================

The Microsoft Reader is capable of playing back Audible titles, both on your
Pocket PC and your desktop or laptop PC.

Before you can transfer Audible content to your Pocket PC you'll need to 
install the AudibleManager® software, available from the Audible Web Site.

Once you have AudibleManager® installed, you can use it to download Audible
content and transfer it to your Pocket PC.  

====================================================
Starting the Microsoft Reader on your Pocket PC
====================================================

You can easily start the Microsoft Reader on your Pocket PC by tapping on
the Start menu, selecting Programs, and then tapping on the "Microsoft 
Reader" icon on the Programs folder.

You will find all your eBook titles in the Library page of the Reader, which is 
the first page you see when the program starts.
