Reading Books on Your NOOK
You can read books, magazines, and newspapers on your NOOK. You can make notes about what you’re reading, highlight and
annotate favorite passages, and share your thoughts and recommendations with friends on social sites such as Facebook.
Your NOOK makes reading books fun. To start reading, simply tap a book’s cover. The book opens and fills the page. Then you
can use the features described in this section to get the most out of your reading experience.
While you’re reading, you can customize the look of the page. You can switch fonts, make type bigger or smaller, and adjust line
spacing and margins. You can switch between page designs whenever you like.
Opening a Book
To open a book, tap its cover. Or if you’re displaying a list of titles in the Library, tap the book’s title.
NOTE: The first time you open a book on your NOOK, you will be presented with a brief tutorial on using gestures
to turn pages and to open reading tools.
Page Layout
When you’re reading content on NOOK, the text fills most of the page.
Page numbers appear at the bottom of the screen.
The title of the book you’re reading appears in the upper left when you first open a book.
