The five different viewing options are meant to give you choices to increase the ease and quality of your viewing. The choices are not meant to confuse you but to help you to view the Catholic islander in a way that works best for you. All of the options require a download speed of at least 400 kbps (except for the text-only version). Slower speeds may work but may require a much longer loading time. The same content in shown in each option but the navigation and viewing styles are different.
In the first option, the page numbers appear on the left side frame of each page. The same option also appears when the cover image is clicked on.

The second option is to download the original PDF file. Recent browsers will open the file in the browser window. Otherwise, you need to open the downloaded file in a PDF viewer. In either case, the PDF file will be in a scrollable format.

The third option is in the form of a book where you can turn the pages of click on the arrows. There are 2 images for each page. The first ones that are visible are of lower definition which will have readable definition when the second image for the page loads. Then you can magnify each page and fill up the viewing screen with a page or parts of a page. There are navigation controls on this version and the best way to learn how to use them is by practice. This option may take longer to load.
