Book Content

What it would do
Many Newton Books are created as a standard size suitable for MP120/130 machines, as well as the MP2x00s. This means that they do not fill the MP2x00 screen, and there is considerable unused space. However, when table of contents is shown, the box overlaps with the book window. Only one of the two is fully visible at any one time. It would be nice to fit both the book and the table of contents on the screen at once, without the need to switch between them to see what is underneath. This way you can select table of contents items and see the associated book contents at the same time. No longer will the book contents be obscured while tapping through the contents.

How to do it

Two possibilities are suggested. An extension would either -

    1. Change the height (portrait) or width (landscape) of the contents box, where possible, based on the size of the Newton book, so that it would fit next to the book window

or

    2. Make the table of contents window resizable (horizontally and vertically) (and remember the settings)
