Reading a NOOK Comics Book
Your NOOK supports NOOK Comics books, which are specially formatted for rich-color, touch-screen displays. You
can read NOOK Comics in portrait mode or landscape mode (a two-page spread).
To open a NOOK Comics book, tap on its cover.
Moving from Page to Page
To turn to the next page in a NOOK Comics book:
• Swipe to the left (drag your finger from right to left across the screen), or
• Tap anywhere along the right edge of the screen
To turn back to the previous page:
• Swipe to the right, or
• Tap along the left edge of the screen
To skip from one part of the book to another, do this:
1. Tap in the center of the screen to call up Reader Tools, which display thumbnail images of pages in the lower half
of the screen.
A progress bar beneath the pictures of pages shows your current position in the book. A slider beneath the
thumbnail images lets you move quickly forward or backward through the book.
2. Drag the slider to the part of the book you want to read next.
The Reader Tools also include controls at the bottom of the screen that let you:
• Display a table of contents for the book.
• Display a slider tool for adjusting the brightness of the screen.
To view a page without the Reader Tools and thumbnail images, tap in the center of the current page or tap on the
thumbnail of the page you want to read next
Enlarging Text and Images
To zoom in on text and images, simply double-tap or pinch out to stretch the image on screen. Tap and slide to move
your focus around the screen. Double-tap to return to viewing the page at its normal size and position.
Many NOOK Comics support Zoom View, a feature that lets you zoom in on a single panel and read a book by
moving from panel to panel by swiping or tapping. If you see the Zoom View button at the top of the screen, tap it to
zoom in on a panel. You can also zoom in by double-tapping on a panel. To move to the next panel, tap on the right
edge of the screen or swipe from right to left. To return to viewing the entire page, tap the Zoom View button again
or double-tap anywhere on the page.
Using Bookmarks
You can bookmark a page by tapping the + icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
To view a list of bookmarks, open the Reader Tools, tap the Contents icon (a stack of horizontal lines), and tap the
Bookmarks tab.
To jump to a page that has been bookmarked, tap on the page where it is listed in Bookmarks list. To clear the list of
bookmarks, tap the Clear all bookmarks button at the bottom of the bookmarks list.
