The reading list is similar to a favorite, but has some important differences. A reading list is a list of articles or blocks of text that you will want to read at a later time, then remove from the list. We'll see how to save items to the reading list and remove them once they are read. We'll also see the reading view feature, which will display text in a way that's easier to read.
- As you're browsing the Web,…you're going to find lots of stuff…that you just want to sit down and spend some time reading.…Maybe news stories or Wikipedia entries…or maybe just long web pages.…Edge has some nice tools to make your reading experience…a little more enjoyable.…So first, I want to talk about reading view.…Take a look at the address bar up here at the top.…Next to the favorites button is this button…that looks like a little book.…This button activates the reading view.…Now, on this page that button is not active,…it's a light grey, which means I'm not able to click on it.…
Reading view is not available on all pages,…so you just have to take a look and see…if it's active when you're on a page…that you might want to sit back and read.…So let's go to another page.…I'm going to click on the link here for the mission page…and now we're on a page with a lot of text.…But it also has some graphics…and it has this menu over on the side…that might be a little distracting…if you're just trying to read the page.…
