Press and Hold

Pressing and holding means touching your ﬁnger to the screen and holding it there for 2 seconds.

In many situations, pressing and holding causes your NOOK to open a pop-up menu. The pop-up menu—sometimes

called a contextual menu—oers you choices about the image your ﬁnger is resting on.

For example, if you press and hold on a book cover, your NOOK opens a menu oering you choices of things you

can do with that book: open the book, recommend it, lend it, and so on.

Pressing and holding on a word in a book and then lifting your ﬁnger opens the Text Selection Toolbar.

NOTE: On smartphones, the “press and hold” gesture is sometimes called a “long press.”

Swipe

To swipe is to slide your ﬁnger across the screen as though you were brushing away a cake crumb. You can swipe

left, as though you were swiping the crumb away to the left. Or you can swipe right, as though you were swiping the

crumb away to the right.

You’ll typically swipe to scroll through a long list or collection things, such a row of book covers on the Daily Shelf.

Swiping to scroll left and right.

If you swipe left on the Status Bar, your NOOK goes back to your previous activity. The Status Bar is a narrow black

bar that displays icons at the bottom of your NOOK screen.
