2 Mantano Reader Premium modules

Mantano Reader Premium provides access to 3 main modules: Bookshelf / Notes / Bookstores You can navigate between them thanks to the tabs in the header area:
In tablets
In smartphones
2.1 Global structure of the Bookshelf and Notes modules

The Bookshelf and Notes modules are very similar with respect to their structure and behavior. They include: A header which contains controls to change the sort criterion and order and to select items, an information label on the current filter and the number of available elements; A central area, which contains a list of items. The way these items are displayed can be changed, from a list with detailed information to a simpler view with only covers and titles; A toolbar at the bottom. A retractable filters panel on the left that allows direct access by collection, tag, author, format ...
2.1.1 The header

Two display options (sort criterion / order) and one selection control are present in this header, just below the tabs, as explained in the following table: Icon Function / Operation Change the display order in an ascending or descending order Sort the displayed list by the title, author or other criteria for which an alphabetical order applies Select / unselect all items
2.1.2 The toolbar

The toolbar contains icons that allow triggering general operations, such as adding new books, changing the display mode or the items order The toolbar is located at the bottom of the display, on both smartphones and tablets:
Caution: The toolbar can scroll horizontally. On small displays, not all the options can be visible at the same time. In such a case, scrolling with a lateral swipe on the toolbar will reveal more options. Hint: You can click on the Search button of your device (if any) to quickly access the search option of the active module.
Some functions apply to specific items: classify, tag, remove, etc They are accessible only when they can apply, i.e. when at least one item is selected. The general toolbar buttons are replaced by the available options, and is also scrollable if the display is too small to display all the options available:

Please refer to the 4.3.1.2 Synchronizing items to Mantano Cloud section Please refer to the 4.3.1.4 Removing items from Mantano Cloud section
2.3 Classifying and indexing the books and notes

You can organize and classify your contents in order to quickly retrieve a specific element thanks to two slightly different tools: tags and collections. Both are additional pieces of information (meta-data) associated to a book or a note: A tag is an arbitrary string label and can be associated with several elements; A collection is like a tag, an arbitrary string label and can be associated with several elements. However: o Unlike tags, a collection can contain sub-collections: collections allow to create arbitrarily nested structures An element (book or note) can be inserted into several collections.
Like other metadata, tags and collections can be renamed (see Using filters below).
2.3.1 How to associate tags to an element?

Tags are created on the fly, when they are associated to an element. Managing the tags associated to an element is straightforward:
Click on popup:
under the document title to open the Tags Management
Enter the tag name. While you type, Mantano Reader suggests existing tag names. You can select one of them to use an existing tag, or type a new tag name.
Click on the Add icon Click on the Close button to validate and save The new tag will be added to the items tag list To delete a tag, simply click on located close to the tag name.
2.3.2 How to create a collection or a sub-collection?

While tags are created on the fly when you associate them with elements, collections can be created on the fly too, but they can also be created beforehand, before associating elements to them. There are several possible ways to create a collection:
By pressing the Plus icon under the My collections label in the left column of the Bookself or Notes sections on tablets, or in the Filter/Collection panel on smartphones
On smartphones, swipe from left to right or tap on the button in the header, or press the back button of the phone to show the Filter panel. By default, the filter panel opens on the filter Collections.
In the Collections Manager screen, which you access by taping on the icon:
Then by pressing the Plus icon next to My collections in the top right side of the screen. In both cases, a popup window opens where you can type the name of your collection or sub-collection and select its parent collection in the Parent spinner (by default, the parent is My collections). You save your new collection by pressing the Create button. When you are in the Library Manager screen, the default parent collection is the current collection (colored bar on the left edge of the thumbnail in the tree of collections). If you
want to create a sub-collection with a different parent from the default one, you can change it with the Parent spinner. Another way to create a sub-collection in the Library Manager is to check the box next to the desired parent collection and to tap on the down arrow besides to open the dropdown menu where you can select Create sub-collection:
You exit the Collections Manager by tapping on OK on the top left of the screen.
2.3.3 How to add an item to a collection?

1. In the main screen, when you are in list view or details view, check the boxes corresponding to the books or notes that you want to add to a certain collection. Then:
2.
Tap the
icon in the toolbar
A window opens where you can choose the collection or sub-collection where you want to add the items, in the collapsible tree of collections.
3.
In this window, you can also create the collection on the fly thanks to the Create button.
2.4 Browsing the lists by using filters

Filters are available in the Bookshelf and Notes sections. By default, the selected filter is Collections. To select a filter, tap on Collections on the top left of the side panel in the main screen of the section, and choose in the drop-down list. The filters are different in the Bookshelf and Notes sections: In Bookshelf: Collections, Tags, Authors, Publishers, Series, Languages, Formats, Ratings, Folder; In Notes: Collections, Tags, Book, Type.
The following metadata types can be renamed directly: Tags Authors Publishers Series
To rename such metadata, follow these steps: 1. 2. On a phone, drag from left to right to show the Filters side panel Select one of the aforementioned metadata types by clicking on the Collections label at the top of the panel
3. 4. 5.
Long press on the metadata you want to rename A popup appears and allows you to rename the metadata If the new name matches an existing one, both will be merged.

3.1.2 Setting the display options with gestures

Some display options are controlled with finger gestures on the page:
Swipe up / down to increase / decrease the font size (for EPUB or reflowed PDF) Pinch to zoom (for PDF) Double-tap on a block of text in a PDF document to zoom in / zoom out and adjust the zoom level so that the width of the block fits the entire display Drag the page with your finger to move around (in a PDF) Swipe up/down on the left border to increase/decrease the screen brightness
The Display Settings icon controls other display options, as described below.
3.1.2.1
Tips to read PDF documents
When reading a PDF document, there are a few tips to know: In "Horizontal" mode, you can turn pages using left to right swipe gesture. A fast and long gesture will start a fast scroll, whereas a simple tap will turn only 1 page. In "Vertical scroll" and Auto scroll modes, you can continuously scroll using a vertical swipe gesture In Horizontal scroll mode, when you zoom on a page, the next page is not zoomed. It allows you to quickly find the interest areas of the new page. In Vertical Scroll mode, the zoom level is always remembered when you move from page to page An interesting combination: double-tap on a paragraph to adjust the width (remove the margins), and then use vertical scrolling. If you don't like the fact that the Horizontal scrolling mode "forgets" the zoom when changing page, this combination may be the good one for you.
3.1.3 Using the reading functions
