Your NOOK offers a choice of three animated effects when you turn a page in an eBook or other EPUB-formatted ebook or magazine. The page can curl as though you were turning a paper page, one page can slide smoothly to the other, or there can be no special effect at all as the one page simply flashes to the next.

2. Tap Books, and then select the Page Turn Effect you want: None, Slide, or Curl.
To change this setting for Magazines, tap Magazines & Newspapers, and select the turn effect you want: Slide or Curl.
Read Newspapers and Magazines
Newspapers and magazines use many of the same reading features as books. Page View and ArticleView®
Some magazines and newspapers present two ways of viewing content.
Page View presents an onscreen replica of the printed page.
ArticleView displays the text of an article in an easy-to-read, scrollable format. You can scroll up and down to read the article. Swipe right and left to move from one article to another.
In publications that support these features, a button at the bottom of the screen lets you toggle between Page View and ArticleView.
In publications that do not support Page View and ArticleView, use the navigation tools and gestures you use in books to move from page to page and section to section.
Additional Features in ArticleView
In ArticleView, tap the center of the page to open Reading Tools at the top of the Screen.
- Tap Text Settings to open controls for formatting the page.
- Tap the grid icon (9 small squares) to display all pages as thumbnail images in a scrollable grid. To jump to a page in the grid, tap it.
- Tap Table of Contents to see a scrollable table of contents for the publication.
Comics
Your NOOK supports comics. Zoom View Letterboxing is a feature that lets you move from frame to frame, even if the frames are different sizes.
To turn on Zoom View Letterboxing:
1. From the Home screen, tap App Drawer > NOOK Settings.
2. Tap Reader > Zoom View Letterboxing to enable.
Open DRM-protected Files
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. DRM software protects books from being copied, sold, or distributed in an unauthorized manner.
Your NOOK and the Barnes & Noble website automatically make sure that when you buy and download an eBook, the eBook recognizes you as its legitimate owner and presents its contents for you to read on your NOOK.
