The Home Screen and the Daily Shelf

The Home Screen is the default display on your NOOK. You can return to the Home Screen at any time by pressing the NOOK button on the front of your NOOK twice quickly.

NOTE: If you’re playing a game, reading a Kids Picture Book, or doing some other activity that fills the entire screen, you’ll need to press the NOOK button twice to return to the Home Screen. In a game, pressing the NOOK button the first time opens a dialog box asking if you want to exit the game. In other full- screen activities, pressing the NOOK button acts like a “Back” button, taking you back to the previous activity. Pressing the button twice quickly returns you to the Home screen.

The Home Screen consists of two main areas: three panels of open space (left, right, and center) that fill the upper portion of the screen, and the Daily Shelf running along the bottom of the screen.

Home Screen Panels and the Panel Indicator

The top portion of the Home Screen consists of three panels of open space you can use for keeping books, maga- zines, newspapers, and apps close at hand.

Only one Home Screen panel is visible at a time.
