Reading Screen
This is where you read your
eBooks, newspapers, magazines,
PDF documents, and more. You
can also shop Barnes & Noble’s
eBookstore for great new titles.
The reading screen is not touch
sensitive. Use the color touchscreen
below and the page turn buttons on
the left and right sides of the
reading screen to navigate on the
reading screen.
The reading screen uses E Ink
display technology that gives crisp
images without glare, like a printed
page. It is comfortable to read
outdoors and in direct sunlight, but,
like paper, it cannot be read in the
dark and requires an external light
source, like a well-lit room or a
book light.
