What Your NOOK Tablet Can Do
To say that the NOOK Tablet is a do-everything device is not hyperbole. Take a
gander at this list of everything it lets you do:
• Read eBooks. The NOOK
Tablet has been designed from
the ground up to be a great
eReader. It’s easy on the eyes,
lets you carry thousands of
books in its thin frame, and
adds many reading extras, such
as bookmarking, note taking,
and more. It lets you get books
from the world’s largest book-
store—2.5 million titles and
counting—with most under $10
for the NOOK version.
• View multimedia inside books.
With a NOOK Tablet, books
really come alive, because music
and video can be embedded
right in the book. (Try that with
a paperback!) See a recipe you
like, and want details about how
to make it? A NOOK cookbook
can contain videos showing you
exactly what to do.
NOTE
Books with additional content like this are called enhanced books. You’ll see that label
when you shop for books, so you’ll know when you’re getting multimedia goodies.
• Read interactive kids’ books. Interactive kids’ books can include video and
music, and the NOOK Tablet can read them aloud to kids. In fact, you can
record your own voice doing the reading. For details, see page 125.
