Press and Hold
Pressing and holding means touching your finger to the screen and holding it there for 2 seconds.
In many situations, pressing and holding causes your NOOK to open menu at the bottom of the screen. The menu oers you
choices about the image your finger is resting on.
For example, if you press and hold on a word in a book, your NOOK opens a menu oering you choices of things you can do
with that book: highlight the word, write a note, look the word up in a dictionary, and so on.
Pressing and holding on a word in a book and then lifting your finger opens the Text Selection Toolbar.
