1.7. Using Sophie books in an applet

When you're browsing a book on Sophie Server, you can also display it in the browser as a Java applet by clicking the Show in applet link. The applet is still slow right now, and results may vary across browsers and platforms. It may take more time the first time you show a book in an applet. A book in an applet looks very much like it does in Sophie Reader:

The status bar allows you to change the zoom, change pages, and search for text in the book. Books in an applet have two tabs in the left flap: the page preview palette, which shows thumbnails, and the tools tab, which lets you search for text across the book. When you're done looking at a book in an applet, you can click the Hide applet link to close the applet.
