96 Barnes & Noble NOOK HD User Guide
Configuring the Quick Corner
By default, the Home Screen displays an icon that looks like an open drawer (two overlapping squares) in the right
corner of the System Bar, the gray panel at the bottom of the screen. Tapping this icon opens the Recent Drawer, a
scrollable window of the most recent content and applications you have accessed.
If you like, you can replace the Recent Drawer feature with a Recent Read feature. This feature is represented by an
icon that combines an open book and a clock. Tapping on the Recent Read icon directly opens the content (a book,
magazine, or newspaper) that you were most recently reading.
A checkbox at the top of the Home settings screen controls whether the Recent Drawer icon or the Recent Read is
displayed in the corner of the Home Screen.
To display the Recent Drawer icon in the corner, tap the checkbox labeled Show my Recent Drawer and leave a check
in the checkbox.
To display the Recent Read icon instead, tap the Show my Recent Drawer checkbox so that the checkbox is unchecked.
Configuring the Home Screen Shelf
Selecting the Active Shelf or an Inbox
By default, your NOOK displays the Active Shelf at the top of the center panel of the Home Screen. This scrollable
shelf displays items you have recently purchased, recently opened, or recently shared.
If you prefer, you can change this shelf to function as an Inbox, displaying only items you have recently purchased, as
well as recent issues of subscriptions (such as magazine subscriptions) that have recently arrived.
To select the behavior of the shelf on the Home Screen, do this:
1. Open the Home settings screen.
2. In the area of the Home settings screen labeled SELECT SHELF BEHAVIOR, tap the button for the shelf you
want to see displayed: Active Shelf or Inbox.
Limiting the Content Types Displayed on the Shelf
By default, the Active Shelf and the Inbox display the following types of content:
• Books
• Apps
• TV Shows
• Documents
• Subscription Content, including Newspapers, Magazines, and Catalogs
To control whether or not the Shelf displays Books, Apps, TV Shows, or Documents such as PDFs, tap the checkbox
next to each content type. Leave the checkbox checked to make that content type. Leave the checkbox empty to
omit that content type from the shelf.
For subscription content, such as newspapers, you can select how many issues of a particular publication appear in
the shelf. Your choices are: no issues, one issue, two issues, three issues, and all issues that have been published since
your subscription began.
By default, your NOOK displays one issue of each publication.
