Configuring the Reader

The Reader is the built-in app that lets you read eBooks and PDFs on your NOOK. The Reader settings screen
includes two checkbox configuration options.
Animating eBook Page Turns
The Animate eBook page turns checkbox lets you turn animation for page turns on or off.
If the box is checked, pages will slide across the screen when you turn pages in an eBook, simulating the appearance
of pages turning in a paper book.
Enabling 2-page Display Mode for PDFs
Another checkbox, Enable 2 page PDF display mode in landscape, lets you turn on or off 2-page display mode for
PDFs, including PagePerfect NOOK Books.
If this checkbox is checked and you rotate your NOOK to read in landscape mode, PDFs appear in a 2-page spread
(with two pages side by side), rather than in the 1-page spread used in portrait mode.

Configuring Search

You can customize the Search tool on your NOOK in two ways:
You can control the type of information included in searches.
You can clear your history of recent searches.
Configuring the List of Searchable Items
The Search tool on the Quick Nav Bar always searches your Library and the Shop. By default, it also searches
through;
Apps: the names of other applications, such as Contacts and Chess, that are installed on your NOOK.
Browser: your Web bookmarks and browser history
Music: the names of albums, artists, and tracks for all music files (in AAC or MP3 format) on your NOOK
To change the list of items that your NOOK searches through, do this:
1.
On the Settings screen, tap Search.
2.
On the Search Settings screen, tap Searchable items.
The Searchable items page lists the types of items that your NOOK searches through.
Web (Web search, bookmarks, and browser history)
Apps (names of installed applications)
Library (library of books, magazines, and newspapers)
Music (artists, albums, and tracks)
Shop (books, magazines, newspapers, and apps)
3.
Tap on the items whose settings you want to change.
Check the checkbox of any item you want to include in searches.
Uncheck the checkbox of any item you want to exclude from searches.
