    When trying to explain features of Edge to those that are not familiar with technology, or particularly when working with older people, the term "immersive reader" seems confusing. Most people are only just getting used to a "Reading View" being available, and many have only just learnt what "the button that looks like a book" actually means. Could it not be called "Clear Reading View" or something similar?

      Valid points, maybe it's temporary to see customers feedbacks
