Reading

This section explains the features available when reading an eBook or periodical chosen from your library. For information about reading eBooks when in Barnes & Noble Bookstores, see “Read in Stores” on page 88.

To resume reading, tap reading now on the Home menu:

reading now

When you tap reading now, you are returned to the last read page in the eBook or periodical that you were reading last on your NOOK, even if you have turned your NOOK off since you were last reading.

Supported File Formats

Your NOOK supports digital reading content (for example, eBooks and periodicals) in the following formats:

•ePub, including DRM-secured files and files without DRM

•PDB, including DRM-secured files and files without DRM

•PDF, including password-secured files and files that are not secured

Orientation

The reading orientation is vertical (often called portrait orientation). You hold the reader upright, and text is displayed in lines across the reading screen.

PDF documents can support rotated pages, though this is not common and not especially useful for eBooks. In such a PDF, one or more pages (and possibly an entire document) can have pages that have been rotated 90 degrees clockwise, 90 degrees counterclockwise, or 180 degrees. Your NOOK doesn’t exactly support such documents, but it tries. It does not rotate the text but does rotate any graphics.
