Resuming Reading
There are several ways to resume reading something:
•If your NOOK has gone to sleep while you were reading, just awaken it. You are returned to where you were reading when your NOOK went to sleep.
•If you are using other NOOK features such as the Shop and library, tap the Home button and then tap reading now to return to where you were reading.
If another NOOK is associated with the same Barnes & Noble account, tapping reading now returns the person reading on that NOOK to whatever was last read on that NOOK.
•When you pick an item to read in your library, if you have read it before, you are returned to the most recently read page when you read it again.
When you resume reading, the current reading page is the page you were reading last on your NOOK.
For items in your B&N library, your NOOK and other B&N eReader platforms can keep track of where you were last reading in each item across devices. For more information, see “Synchronizing Reading Across Devices” on page 127.
