newspapers, apps, scrapbooks, and any files you have transferred from your personal computer

with these five tabs:
• Library - displays the contents of your Library; you can drag any item from the Library to the Home Screen.
• Apps - displays your apps; you can drag any app to the Home Screen.
• Wallpapers - presents shortcuts to your media gallery, a folder of wallpapers (static images), and “living wall-

Screen.
• Bookmarks - displays thumbnail representations of any Web pages you have bookmarked; you can drag any of
these items to the Home Screen.
• Widgets - displays a collection of widgets (special applications) you can add to your Home Screen; widgets in-
clude an analog clock, a list of upcoming calendar events, and a music playlist, as well as widgets from third-party
applications that you might have purchased through the NOOK Shop; you can drag any of these widgets to the
Home Screen.
Adding Library Items, Bookmarked Web Pages, or Widgets to the Home Screen
Your NOOK automatically adds the items you have recently purchased or accessed to the Active Shelf on your
Home Screen. This makes them easy to find.
You can also place other items on the Home Screen for convenient access. These items can include Library content
such as books, magazines, and apps. They can also include bookmarked Web pages and widgets.
To add an item to the Home Screen, do this:
1. Press and hold on the background of the Home Screen.
The shortcuts menu appears, presenting five tabs of content: Library, Apps, Wallpapers, Bookmarks, and Wid-
gets.
2. Tap the menu choice for the type of item you want to add.
Your NOOK displays further choices below. If you see a stack of items like books, tap on the stack to display all
the items individually in a row.
3. To place an item on the Home Screen, drag it from the shortcuts menu on to the Home Screen.
