"This guide sorts through all of the unnecessary clutter of the official manual and gives you jargon-free task-based instructions. Instead of learning which buttons perform which functions, you will learn how to use those buttons to navigate your Nook to buy, read, and mark up your eBooks. Instead of presenting an arbitrary table of gestures you can use on the touchscreen, this book shows you where those gestures are needed by integrating them into the tasks you are doing. Additionally, each set of step-by-step instructions is accompanied by a set of detailed screenshots to help you to confirm that you are on the right track. This Survival Guide also goes above and beyond to show you hidden tips and tricks, such as the web browser, which was not included as a feature on the new Nook. Other useful tips will help you to maximize your Nook's battery life, create bookshelves, and even lend eBooks to your friends"--Page 4 of cover.
