Navigating a Web Page
Head to a web page, and most of the time you see an entire page, laid out with
the same fonts, links, pictures, and so on, as if you were visiting it using a com-
puter with a larger screen. Move around the page by using the normal NOOK
gestures. Of course, looking at an entire web page on the NOOK’s screen isn’t
the same thing as looking at a web page on a 21-inch monitor. The type and
photos are small, and the links can be difficult to tap on. But letting you see the
entire screen at once makes a good deal of sense, because at a glance, you can
see what section of the page you want to view.
That’s where the fun begins. You can use the NOOK’s zooming and scrolling
capabilities to head quickly to the part of the page you want to view, and then
zoom in.
You’ve got four ways to do so:
• Rotate the NOOK.
Turn it 90 degrees to the left or to the right. The NOOK
changes the orientation of the website to fill the wider view, and while
doing so, zooms in.
