Please use this thread for feedback on the two new interfaces during the beta test period starting 5/16/10 and continuing for...who knows?

General information on the two new interfaces is here (http://www.nr.com/bookreader_chooser.html). Or, you can go directly to Rollover (http://www.nrbook.com/rollover/) or to Empanel (http://www.nrbook.com/empanel/).

Thanks

Using Empanel or Rollover with the zoom set higher than page-per-screen, it's inconvenient to read through more than a few pages because there's no mouse or keyboard control to move forward and backward by one screenful at a time. That's what you would expect the page-down and page-up keys to do. Instead, they move forward and back one page at a time.

You have to read the top of the page, scroll down one line at a time (with the mouse wheel, scroll bar or arrow keys) to see the bottom, then go to the next page and scroll back up to the top. It would be much easier if you could just keep tapping page-down, like you can in Acrobat Reader or GSView.

Hi Bill,

thanks. we subscribed nr3 for teaching purpose. we would like our postgraduates to be able to access nr3 on our server machine. but with the Empanel interface or rollover interface, our Subscription key would be disclosed to all our users, which is not approperiate. could it be possible that the two new interfaces are configured in a way as for the traditional one that the machine on which to access nr3 is to be activated with Subscription key once by eg. system manager?

Hi, Sue. Yes, it would also probably be a good idea in general to hide the subscription key after it is entered. Not sure when we'll next do a minor upgrade of the interfaces, but I'll put this on the list of things to do.
Cheers,
Bill P.
