Changing the Wallpaper from the Home Screen
To change the Home Screen wallpaper from the Home Screen, do this:
1. On the Home Screen, press and hold on the wallpaper.
A pop-up menu appears.
2. Tap on the menu choice
Change wallpaper.
Your NOOK displays a dialog box with two tabs. Each tab offers you a collection of images to choose from. The
tabs are:
• Wallpapers
- a collection of wallpapers included on your NOOK
•
Photo Gallery
- a collection of photos stored on your NOOK, including any photos you have trans-
ferred to your NOOK from your personal computer
•
Live Wallpapers
- a collection of animated wallpapers that appears if you have purchased one or
more animated wallpapers for your NOOK
3. If you want to switch from one tab to the other, tap on the name of the tab you want to display. In each tabbed
display, you can slide your finger up or down to scroll vertically through the images available for selection.
4. Tap on the choice you want. (To leave the wallpaper unchanged, tap anywhere outside the dialog box. The dialog
box will close, and the wallpaper image will not change.)
5. If you selected an image from the Photo Gallery, your NOOK displays a cropped version of the image. Drag the
crop marks to frame the portion of the photo you want to display. Tap the
Save
button in the lower left corner
of the screen to save the cropped photo as the wallpaper for the Home Screen.
When you have finished selecting wallpaper, your NOOK returns you to the Home Screen. If you have selected a
new image for the wallpaper, that image now appears in the background of the Home Screen.
The Daily Shelf
The Daily Shelf is a row of books, magazines, newspapers, and apps that runs along the bottom of the Home Screen.
The Daily Shelf holds items that you have recently opened or received.
By default, the following actions cause an item to appear at the left of the Daily Shelf:
• Buying a book, magazine, newspaper, or app.
• Downloading a free book.
• Lending or borrowing a book.
• Receiving a LendMe offer from a friend.
• Receiving a recommendation for a book or periodical from a friend.
• Automatically receiving a new issue of any magazine or newspaper for which you have a subscription.
• Using a menu choice in the Library to move an item to the Home Screen and then dragging it from the Home
Screen onto the Daily Shelf.
• Opening an app, such as Email or an app you have purchased from the NOOK Store.
New books, magazines, newspapers, and apps are marked with a flag that says “New.”
You can control which types of items appear on your Daily Shelf items by configuring the Home settings screen,
which you can access through the Settings icon in the Quick Nav Bar.
