A menu choice with a sign near the right edge has submenus. Tap the menu choice to display the submenus. For example, tap Preferences in the Reader to display the submenus Text size, Text font, and Auto Save Page on BN.com.
Menus with On/Off choices toggle when you tap them. In Settings, tap Airplane mode to turn Airplane mode on. Tap Airplane mode again to turn Airplane mode off.
You will sometimes see a menu item that is gray. This means that you cannot choose that menu item. The choice might not be relevant; for example, you cannot change the font for a PDF file, so the Text font menu item is gray. This can also indicate that an operation is in progress. For example, when your NOOK is automatically checking for new content in My B&N Library, the Check for new B&N content menu item is gray until it has completed the operation.
