Sharing Quotes through Social Media and Email

You can share a highlighted passage with friends through email, Facebook, or Twitter.

NOTE: Before you can share quotes through Facebook or Twitter, you need to link your NOOK to your

Facebook or Twitter account. Use the Social settings page to link your NOOK to social sites. On the

Quick Nav Bar, tap Settings, and then tap the Social menu choice to open the Social settings page.

To share the highlighted passage, tap the Share button in the Text Selection Toolbar. The “Share a Quote” window

opens, oering you the following choices:

• with Contacts

• on Facebook

• via Twitter

Tap on the choice you want to use.

• with Contacts opens a window that lets you select one or more email contacts to whom you can send the quote

you have selected. If you haven’t set up any email contacts, tap the Add Contacts button in the upper right to ﬁll

in a form with a contact’s ﬁrst name, last name, and email address.

• on Facebook opens a window that lets you post the quote, along with a brief message, on either your Facebook

wall or on the wall of a friend.

• via Twitter opens a window that lets you post the quote to your Twitter account.

NOTE: Twitter messages must not be longer than 140 characters. A number in the lower right corner of the

Twitter posting window will let you know how many characters remain before you hit the 140 charac-

ter limit. If you see a negative number, you have exceeded the 140-character limit by that number of

characters. Delete words in the quoted passage displayed in the posting window until number reads 0

or a positive number.

Using Notes

Writing a Note

Just as you might write a note in the margins of a printed book, you can make notes about speciﬁc passages in a book

on your NOOK.

To write a note, do this:

1. Press and hold on a word at the beginning or end of the passage you want to write a note about.

The Text Selection Toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen.

2. Lift your ﬁnger, then drag one of the vertical bars to other end of the passage.

The Text Selection Toolbar appears again.

3. Tap the Add Note button in the toolbar.

An “Add Note” window appears with a keyboard for typing notes.

4. Type the text of the note.

5. Tap the Done button to post the Note and close the note window.

In your book, a note icon now appears in the margin, indicating that a note has been written about this passage.
