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 X in the upper right 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 in the center of the page
to display the Reading Tools, tap the Content button, tap the Notes & Highlights 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 on the Notes & Highlights tab. To read
a note in the Notes & Highlights tab, tap on it.
