Appendix A: Page Numbering and File
Formats
When you read a book or periodical on your NOOK, you’re reading the
same words that appear in the paper edition of the book or periodical. In
most books, the page number that appears at the bottom of the screen is the
page number you would see if you were reading the printed version of the
same book.
Because printed pages can be larger than the screen of your NOOK, and
because many printed books use type that is smaller than would be pleasant
to read on an eReader, your NOOK may enlarge the type on a page and
spread a physical page of text across two or more digital pages.
Because digital pages might be smaller than the physical pages of a book,
you might turn the page a few times on your NOOK and still see the same
physical page number in the upper righthand corner. For example, you
might find three screens of text in your book all labeled page 47.
The relation between digital pages and physical pages can vary because
your NOOK gives you a great deal of freedom in choosing the size of fonts,
the amount of spacing between lines, and other factors that affect how text
flows onto a page.
In most books, you’ll always know which physical page you’re on from the
number shown when you tap the bottom of the screen to view your reading
progress. So if you’re discussing a book in a book club, everyone can refer
to page 295 and be talking about the same page, even if you’ve configured
your NOOK to use small type and single-spacing and everyone else in the
group is using large type and double-spacing.
