Thanks, Londa, for that tip. The lines have started to read better, but to me there doesn't seem to be a pattern. Just when I think I've got it figured out, the display won't move when I push on what I think is the appropriate thumb key. For example, I can be reading along, and I come to a couple of characters that look like a star. Does this indicate the end of a line or what? I thought that for a while it did and that I could use the "down" key to move the display down a line, but it didn't seem to work like I thought it would. I haven't tried reading anything except email messages and maybe they are a bit tricky, I don't know.
I hope this makes sense.
