window pops up that lets you post the highlighted text along with a note to
your (or a friend’s) Facebook Wall. When you select Twitter, a window pops
up letting you post it to your Twitter account.
NOTE
When you share the quote, there’s also a link to the book on the BN.com website. Keep in
mind that Twitter only lets you post messages of 140 characters or less, so your quote and any com-
ment have to be shorter than that. In fact, they’ll have to be even shorter, since the link included in
the Tweet uses some characters. Check the number in the lower-right corner of your Twitter window,
which tells you how many characters you have left. If you see a negative number, you’ve gone over
the limit, so you’ll have to delete some text.
NOTE
If you’ve copied the book you’re reading from your computer to your NOOK, you may not
be able to share the highlighted text with other people, and the button may be grayed out.
• Look up.
Searches the Merriam-
Webster Collegiate Dictionary
built into the NOOK, and shows
you the results. But it does
more than that as well. Down
at the bottom of the screen is a
search box with three icons to
its right. To change or edit your
search term, simply change it
in the box. The first of the three
icons is for the dictionary. You’re
already using it, so don’t bother
tapping it. (The only time you
may tap the dictionary icon is
if you enter a new search term
and want to look it up in the
dictionary.)
