The Recent Drawer

By default, an icon of two overlapping squares appears in the lower right corner of the System Bar. Tap this icon to open the Recent Drawer: a scrollable horizontal panel showing the last fifty items you have accessed on your NOOK. These items can be Library items such as books or movies, or they can be apps such as Email or the Web browser.

To return to one of these items, tap it. Your NOOK closes the Recent Drawer and opens the item you selected.
