Choosing a 12-hour or 24-hour Clock Format
By default, your NOOK uses a 24-hour clock format. It numbers hours 1 to 24.
Optionally, you can switch to a 12-hour format in which hours are numbered 1 to 12. In a 12-hour format, 13:00
becomes 1:00 PM.
To switch to a 12-hour format, do this:
1. Open the General settings screen by tapping the General menu choice on the All Settings screen.
2. Find the DATE & TIME section in the scrollable panel on the right. Tap the Use 24-hour format toggle switch so it
reads OFF.
Your NOOK switches to a 12-hour format.
To return to a 24-hour format, tap the Use 24-hour format toggle switch so it reads ON.
Changing the Date Format

tered your NOOK.
To change the date format, do this:
1. Open the General settings screen by tapping the General menu choice on the All Settings screen.
2. Find the DATE & TIME section in the scrollable panel on the right. Under the Select date format menu choice you
will see a sample date in the date format currently selected for your NOOK.

A window opens showing a choice of date formats.
