Ergonomics
Ergonomics is a big word for the study of how to make things comfortable and easy to use, and to
reduce injuries. Your NOOK was designed with you and reading in mind.
The best advice we can give is to find what is comfortable for you.
Reading must be a comfortable activity. With your NOOK, it will be. If one reading position is not
comfortable, try a dierent one. Balance your NOOK dierently. Place your hands dierently. Press
the Next Page and Previous Page buttons dierently. We are quite sure that some of the ergonomic
suggestions that follow will work for you.
Holding your NOOK
Hold your NOOK so it is balanced well and does not feel top-heavy. You can change the balance of
your NOOK by moving your hands further up or holding your NOOK in a more vertical position.
You probably will want to hold it with both hands. If you hold it with one hand, rest that hand or
arm on something, for example, your leg.
One way of holding your NOOK is shown in this drawing. The person shown is right-handed, and
she is holding her NOOK with the left hand further up the side, for balance, and the right hand
closer to the bottom, to easily press the Next Page button on the right side of your NOOK.
