NOOK Tablet: Out of the Box

Feel Your Way Around the NOOK Tablet

Here’s everything you’ll touch as you feel your way around the NOOK Tablet, beginning with the front, then moving to the top edges (Figure 1-1), and ending on the bottom (Figure 1-2).

The NOOK Button

Down at the bottom of the NOOK Tablet, on the front of the device, you’ll find the NOOK Button, shaped like the NOOK symbol. If the tablet is sleeping, pressing the NOOK button wakes it up. If the tablet is already awake, pressing the button opens the Quick NAV Bar that lets you take advantage of all of the tablet’s features. Pressing the NOOK button twice in a row brings you to the tablet’s Home screen.

Note

If the Quick Nav Bar is showing and you press the NOOK Button, you’ll be sent to the Home screen.

Power Button

On the upper left side of the NOOK Tablet, there’s a power button. Hold it for a second or two to turn off your NOOK Tablet; hold it again for a second or two to turn it back on.

Note

If your NOOK Tablet is sleeping, pressing the Power button will wake it from sleep.

Microphone

Up at the top of the NOOK Tablet, just to the left and in front of the microphone, you’ll see a tiny hole. That’s the microphone. Yes, it’s small, but it does the job very well.
