Hi Mary, When you start up in the "Getting Started" guide you're on a Cover graphic. I'll spare you the experiments, and tell you to just use your right arrow key (with QuickNav off) to move to the next page. If you keep QuickNav on, you'll have to move to the "Next Page" button and press it.
I ended up pressing the "TOC" button to get to the Table of Contents, but you don't want to really use that unless you want Table of Contents navigation and Bookmarks access. It will split your view to put a Table of Contents or Bookmarks pane always visible along with the book page, which will just make for extra controls to navigate through when you don't want them. pressing the "TOC" button again will make this go away. There's no way that I've found to read continuously. I skipped most of the guide and just added an ePub book to start reading. If you download one from Kobo Books on your account page (to have an example which requires the ADE login) the first time you try to open it you'll be prompted for an Adobe Digital Editions log in and password. From then on your computer will be authorized, and you can start reading. You can also add any ePub books which are DRM free and read them in Adobe Digital Editions Preview. Bookmarking, searches, and table of contents navigation are supported. Languages other than English and annotations are not supported in the Preview version. HTH.
