Using Notes
Writing a Note
Just as you might write a note in the margins of a printed book, you can make notes about specific passages in a book
on your NOOK.
To write a note, do this:
1. Press and hold on a word at the beginning or end of the passage you want to write a note about.
The Text Selection Toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen.
2. Lift your finger, then drag one of the vertical bars to other end of the passage.
The Text Selection Toolbar appears again.
3. Tap the notepad icon in the toolbar at the left end of the toolbar.
An “Add Note” window appears with a keyboard for typing notes.
4. Type the text of the note.
5. Tap the checkmark button in the lower right corner to post the Note and close the note window.
In your book, a note icon now appears in the margin, indicating that a note has been written about this passage.
Viewing a Note
To open a note and read it, tap the note icon in the margin.
When you’re done viewing the note, you can close the note window by tapping the arrow in the upper left corner
of the window.
NOTE: By default, your NOOK displays a note icon next to any passage of text about which you’ve written
a note. However, you can configure your NOOK not to display note icons. Tap the center of the page
to display the Reading Tools, tap the
Contents icon, tap the Highlights & Notes tab, and uncheck the
checkbox labeled
Show Notes & Highlights. This hides notes and highlights while you’re reading,
though you can still read notes by opening the
Contents tool and tapping the Highlights & Notes tab.
To read a note in the
Highlights & Notes tab, tap it.
Editing a Note
To edit a note, do this:
1 Tap the Note icon to open the note you want to edit.
Your NOOK displays the note, along with buttons labeled
Cancel, Remove, and Edit.
2. Use the keyboard to edit the note as you like.
3. When you have finished editing the note, tap SAVE in the upper right corner of the screen.
Removing a Note
To remove a note, do this:
1. Tap the highlighted word or phrase associated with the note.
A menu appears at the bottom of the screen.
2. Tap the trash icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
A dialog box opens, asking if you really want to remove this note.
3 Tap
Remove. Your NOOK deletes the note.
