Operating the Controls

Color Touchscreen
The color touchscreen displays menus, navigation controls, and when needed, a keyboard.
Reach areas of your
NOOK
including your library, the Shop, and the Reader from the Home menu.
Submenus allow you to use all of your
NOOK
’s features.
To light up the touchscreen when it is unlit, but your
NOOK
is not sleeping, tap the touchscreen, tap
the Home button, or press and release the power button.
Gestures
The touchscreen recognizes several gestures.
Touch
This is the most basic gesture for the touchscreen. When you touch a Home menu button, menu
choice, button, or key, the touchscreen
highlights
the chosen item. But your
NOOK
does not
perform the requested action until you raise your finger.
To move quickly to the top or bottom of a list in your library or the Shop, touch the Up or Down
button and hold it for about a second, and then raise your finger.
Tap
Briefly touch a Home menu button, menu choice, button, or key and then immediately raise your
finger. Your
NOOK
performs the action. If you tap very quickly, your
NOOK
might not register the
tap (and the highlighting does not happen). If what you expect to happen doesn’t, try a longer tap.
Double-Tap
Tap the same button twice in rapid succession. This is used for the Previous button in the audio
player to play the previous track.
Swipe
You can swipe to scroll through the Home menu and the covers in the gallery (Show Covers).
When you are reading and the touchscreen is not lit, you can swipe to turn pages.
How you swipe is slightly different for lit and dark touchscreens:
•
Lit touchscreen
: Touch a spot on the touchscreen, move your finger to another point, and
then raise your finger. Your finger can be moving laterally when you touch, or not. You can move
your finger a short distance or a long one. As you do, what is displayed on the touchscreen will
move.
