• eBooks (and periodicals) in EPUB format: Page numbering is for the entire eBook and
reflects some prior account of page numbering, before formatting for the text size. This means
that, if the original book had 525 pages, then so does the eBook. But the pages are re-flowed,
so a page from the book might start in the middle of the page in the eBook. A page in the book
also might be smaller or larger than will fit on one page of the eBook. So, looking at the reading
status bar when turning pages you might encounter page 45, and the page after that will still be
page 45, and maybe the one after that too. And then you will reach page 46. Or, you will turn
from page 45 to 47. What happened to page 46? It was on the same page as page 45. When
you make the text size larger, the same page in the eBook will flow over more pages in the
Reader.
• Reflowable eBooks in PDF format: Page numbering is for the entire book and reflects
some prior account of page numbering, before formatting for the text size. The behavior is the
same as for eBooks in EPUB format, described above.
• Non-reflowable (scanned without character recognition) eBooks in PDF format:
Page numbering is for the entire book, and reflects the number of scanned pages. Page numbers
also might be on the scanned pages, but there is no necessary relationship. Page 6 in the eBook
might have the scanned page number iv, and page 30 in the eBook might have the scanned page
number 5.
Synchronizing Reading Across Devices
If you only read Barnes & Noble content on your NOOK, you can skip this section. If
you read items in My B&N Library on your NOOK and other devices, for example, other
mobile devices or a personal computer, this section is for you.
B&N eReader applications are available on a wide range of other platforms. For information, see
“Platforms” on page 172. At the time when this guide goes to press, synchronization of the current
reading position works on all platforms except for BlackBerry® smartphones and Mac® laptops.
If you read the same B&N content on multiple devices, you can have your NOOK and the other
B&N eReaders synchronize your current reading position across devices. If you don’t synchronize
the current reading position, you can still go to where you were reading on other devices. You just
have to find the page yourself.
Saving and obtaining the current reading position requires a wireless connection. If Airplane
mode is on, or if Wi-Fi is turned o and a B&N Fast & Free Wireless network is not
available (for the Wi-Fi + 3G model NOOK), or your NOOK cannot connect to a Wi-
Fi hotspot, then when you try to go to the current reading position saved on BN.com,
nothing will happen.
