turn to reading in portrait mode, turn your NOOK back to its normal orientation, with the short side of your NOOK
down.
When you rotate your NOOK, you’ll see a lock symbol appear in the lower right corner of the screen for several
seconds. To lock the books you are reading to the current orientation of the screen, tap this lock symbol when it ap-
pears.

To unlock the orientation, tap in the lower right corner of the screen to make the lock symbol reappear. Then tap the
lock symbol again so that the lock appears open.
To prevent your NOOK from ever switching orientation, tap the NOOK button to call up the Quick Nav Bar. Tap

menu choice. On the Screen settings page, tap the
