Using Media Shortcuts
Media Shortcuts are small icons that appear below the Daily Shelf. Tapping a Media Shortcut displays a list of recently
accessed items of that media type (for example, books), along with recommendations for similar items in the NOOK
Store. There are five shortcuts: books, newsstand, video, music, and apps. The video and music shortcuts refer to
video apps and music apps, respectively.
By default, your NOOK displays Media Shortcuts. If you would prefer to hide the shortcuts, tap the
Settings
icon in
the Quick Nav Bar, and tap the
Home
settings button. On the Home settings page, tap the checkbox labeled
Show
Media Shortcuts
. Leave the checkbox unchecked.
To display Media Shortcuts, tap the
Show Media Shortcuts
checkbox again, and leave the checkbox checked.
Returning to the Home Screen
At any time you can return to the Home screen by doing one of the following:
• Press the NOOK button. When the Quick Nav Menu appears at the bottom of the touchscreen, tap the
Home
icon.
• Press the NOOK button twice. (The NOOK button is the raised button in the shape of the NOOK logo on the
front of your NOOK).
NOTE: If you’re in the middle of an activity such as playing a game or viewing a Kids Picture Book that uses the
entire screen, you’ll need to press the NOOK button twice to return to the Home Screen. The first
time you press the NOOK button, your NOOK exits full-screen mode, and the second time it returns
you to the Home Screen.
