3. Using Sophie Server in Sophie Reader
Sophie Server can open remote books as well as local books using Sophie Server. Presently, this only operates in demonstration mode; you need to be running a copy of Sophie Server to try this out. (See here for information about running Sophie Server.)
When Sophie Server is running, turn to the Server tab in the left flap in Sophie Reader. Select 127.0.0.1:8003 (the address for your local copy of Sophie Server) and click Toggle Selected. Sophie Reader will attempt to connect to the Sophie Server application; if it works, you'll get a message saying Successfully connected. Then click the Refresh button to see which books are on your Sophie Server. You should see something like this:
Double-click the name of a book in the bottom list to open it. It should open normally; it can be manipulated just like any other book.
