Reading a Kids Picture Book

Barnes & Noble offers special NOOKbook editions of Kids Picture Books. These books open in landscape mode
and present their contents in full-color, two-page spreads. Kids Picture Books feature a "Kids" badge on their covers.
Some Kids Picture Books include animation that plays automatically.
Hearing a Book Read Aloud
Many Kids Picture Books feature an audio track. When you open a book with an audio track, you will see two circular
buttons:
• Read By Myself
• Read To Me
Tap Read To Me to hear the story read aloud as you turn the pages. Tap Read by Myself to read the book without
hearing it read aloud.
If a book does not include an audio track, only the Read By Myself button appears at the beginning of the book. You
do not have to push this button to begin reading. Simply turn the page to begin.
Moving from Page to Page
To turn to the next page in a Kids Picture Book, swipe to the left (drag your finger from right to left across the
screen).
To turn back to the previous page, swipe to the right.
To skip from one part of the book to another, do this:
1. Tap the white arrow at the bottom of the screen.
A scrollable panel with thumbnail images of pages appears at the bottom of the screen.
2. Slide your finger right or left across the thumbnail images to find the page you want to read.
3. Tap the thumbnail image of the page.
The book displays the page you selected. The scrollable panel disappears.
Kids Books with Activities
If a Kids Picture Book features a star symbol on its opening pages, that book includes special activities that enable
readers to interact with the book's content. Pages with special activities include an Activity button. Tap the Activity but-
ton to start or stop the activity.

Reading a Magazine

Magazine Formats
Your NOOK Color displays magazines published in a variety of digital formats. The format determines a magazine's
interactive features, including its navigation. Some formats are more interactive than others.
This section describes the interface and features available in the most popular format for magazines. You may occa-
sionally encounter magazines with different interfaces and features. Digital magazine formats tend to be intuitive and
easy-to-use, so even if the magazine's features differ from those described here, you should be able to find your way
through the publication without any trouble.
