Reading a Magazine
Magazine Formats
Your NOOK displays magazines published in a variety of digital formats. The format determines a magazine’s interac-
tive features, including its navigation. Some formats are more interactive than others.
This section describes the interface and features available in the most popular format for magazines. You may occa-
sionally encounter magazines with dierent interfaces and features. Digital magazine formats tend to be intuitive and
easy-to-use, so even if the magazine’s features dier from those described here, you should be able to find your way
through the publication without any trouble.
NOTE: To ensure that there’s always room in your Library for new periodicals, your NOOK may occasionally
move old periodicals to your account’s storage area on NOOK Cloud, leaving just the periodical covers
in the Library on your NOOK. To retrieve a periodical from NOOK Cloud, just tap the Download rib-
bon on a periodical’s cover. Your NOOK re-downloads that issue, giving you full access to its contents.
Magazine View and Article View
Most magazines you will read on NOOK use a format that oers two views for reading.
• Magazine View: In Magazine View, you see digital representations of the printed pages of the magazine. The
pages on your NOOK will look just like the pages in the printed edition. If the page is filled with photos in the
printed edition, the page appears filled with photos on your NOOK. Magazine View works in both portrait mode
and landscape mode.
• Article View: In Article View, you see just the text of the article without any illustrations or photos. You can
scroll through the text as you would in a book. You can also navigate directly from article to article. Article View
works in both portrait mode and landscape mode.
Magazine View
In Magazine View, you navigate through the magazine by swiping your finger to turn pages.
You can also 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 magazine.
A slider beneath the thumbnail images lets you move quickly forward or backward through the magazine. The Reader
Tools also include controls at the bottom of the screen that let you:
• Info: Display the Details page for the magazine, listing publisher, publication date, and other information.
• Contents: Open a window with tabbed views of the Table of Contents and Bookmarks
• Thumbnail View: Display a grid of thumbnail views of all the pages in the publication; you can then tap on a
thumbnail to jump to that two-page spread in the magazine.
• Scrapbook: Copy the page to a scrapbook, if the magazine’s publisher allows scrapbooking.
• Toggle between Magazine View and Article View
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.
