NOOK HD+ User Guide
Configuring the Quick Corner
By default, the Home Screen displays an icon that looks like an open drawer (two overlapping squares) in the right-
hand corner of the System Bar, the black panel at the bottom of the screen. Tapping this icon opens the Recent
Drawer, a scrollable window of the most recent content and applications you have accessed.
If you like, you can replace the Recent Drawer feature with a Recent Read feature. This feature is represented by an
icon that combines an open book and a clock. Tapping on the Recent Read icon directly opens the content (a book,
magazine, or newspaper) that you were most recently reading.
A tick box at the top of the Home settings screen controls whether the Recent Drawer icon or the Recent Read is
displayed in the corner of the Home Screen.
To display the Recent Drawer icon in the corner, tap the tick box labelled
Show my Recent Drawer
and leave a tick in
the box.
To display the Recent Read icon instead, tap the
Show my Recent Drawer
tick box so that the box is empty.
Configuring the Home Screen Shelf
Selecting the Active Shelf or an Inbox
By default, your NOOK displays the Active Shelf at the top of the centre panel of the Home Screen. This scrollable
shelf displays items you have recently purchased, recently opened, or recently shared.
If you prefer, you can change this shelf to function as an Inbox, displaying only items you have recently purchased, as
well as recent issues of subscriptions (such as magazine subscriptions) that have recently arrived.
To select the behaviour of the shelf on the Home Screen, do this:
1. Open the Home settings screen.
2. In the area of the Home settings screen labelled SELECT SHELF BEHAVIOUR, tap the button for the shelf you
want to see displayed:
Active Shelf
or
Inbox
.
Limiting the Content Types Displayed on the Shelf
By default, the Active Shelf and the Inbox display the following types of content:
• Books
• Apps
• Documents
• Subscription Content, including Newspapers and Magazines
To control whether or not the Shelf displays Books, Apps, or Documents such as PDFs, tap the tick box next to each
content type. Leave the tick box ticked to make that content type. Leave the tick box empty to omit that content
type from the shelf.
For subscription content, such as newspapers, you can select how many issues of a particular publication appear in
the shelf. Your choices are: no issues, one issue, two issues, three issues, and all issues that have been published since
your subscription began.
By default, your NOOK displays one issue of each publication.
To change the number of issues of a publication that will be displayed on the Active Shelf or Inbox,
do this:
