Customizing Your Home Screen
The Daily Shelf is useful because it puts an always-changing selection of books, magazines, newspapers, and apps within easy reach. But that selection isn’t permanent; it changes as you use your NOOK.
You may, though want to have some items always within easy reach—for example, the books and magazines you’re currently reading, Netflix so that you can quickly jump to watching your favorite movies, and so on.
It’s easy to do. You can move items onto and off your Home Screen, anchor them at different locations on your Home Screen, and if things get too messy arrange them in a neat grid.
As explained in the previous section, to move an item from the Home Screen to the Daily Shelf, just drag it to the location where you want it to be. If you’d like, you can even stack books on top of one another, by dragging one book over the other. Just make sure that you don’t completely obscure a cover of a book by any covers you’ve placed above it.
