Right-to-left books
Arabic books read from the right. The layout, the text side and the page order follow that.
An Arabic book is a right-to-left book. That means:
- The text reads from right to left.
- The usual text side is the one a reader's eye reaches first in Arabic.
- Pages turn in the direction Arabic readers expect.
- Our screens in Arabic are right-to-left too, not mirrored pictures.
You can still choose the text side yourself. See Choose the text side.
