Reading Magazines - O'Reilly NOOK Manual

You typically get PDF files by copying them to your NOOK from your computer,
as described on page 282.
NOTE
When you tap a PDF in your Library to read it, you'll be asked whether you want to open
it in Quickoffice Lite (page 273) or the Reader. The Reader has more reading features than Quickoffice
Lite, so it's your best bet. If you want PDFs to always open in the Reader (or Quickoffice Lite), turn on
the checkbox next to "Use by default for this option" before making your choice.
Reading a PDF is much like reading a book, with some important differences:
• At the top of the Reading Tools menu there's a thumbnail viewer that
shows thumbnails of every page in the PDF. Swipe through the thumbnails,
and when you find a page you want to read, tap it. Tapping it also closes
the Reading Tools menu.
• Zoom in on a page by double-tapping it; zoom out by double-tapping it
again.
• Not all the tools on the Reading Tools menu are available for PDFs. You
can't share quotes or reviews of the PDF, use the Discover feature to find
related books, or change the display of the pages.
NOTE
To return to reading a PDF, tap the More button from the Home screen, but remember that
you'll find it listed in the Files section, not in the Books section (page 55).

Reading Magazines

The NOOK Tablet is great for reading magazines as well as newspapers, with
plenty of features designed specifically for magazines. Some tools are similar—
like the way you turn the pages—but others are entirely new, like ArticleView,
where you see only the text of an article, without illustrations.
NOTE
Magazines come in a variety of formats, and so the features in each magazine may vary
somewhat. This section covers the format used by most popular magazines.
