Kobo Arc 10HD User Guide 13
You can also add free or purchased apps and widgets from Google Play to your Kobo Arc
10HD.
An app is a program that lets you do anything from playing games to reading a book. If
you have favorite apps it’s easy to add shortcuts to any of your personal collections, the
Apps & Widgets page, or the Quick Launch Bar so that you can find and open them
quickly.
A widget is different. Widgets sit on your Apps & Widgets page or collections screens
and do one of two things. They either:
•
Display information that you want to see regularly (like the current weather).
•
Let you change a setting or reach content without opening an app. For
example, you might have a widget to turn Wi Fi on or off, or use another to
open your current book.
Getting new apps and widgets
Google Play is an online store where you can download free and paid apps for your Kobo
Arc 10HD. If you’ve already paid for apps or widgets in Google Play and put them on
another Android device, you don’t need to pay again to put them on your Kobo Arc
10HD.
