Personalizing your NOOK
Your NOOK is yours, and you can personalize it. You can:
•Choose among predefined wallpaper images, or supply your own. The wallpaper image is displayed on the Home screen.
•Use one of the predefined screensaver sets, or provide your own sets of screensaver images. A screensaver is a single, static image displayed on the reading screen when your NOOK is asleep.
•Customize settings. For example, you can change the text font and text size for the Reader. You can also change the sleep and touchscreen timers.
•Add accessories, including covers, colored device backs and frames, and lights. For more information, see “Optional Accessories” on page 33.
