Turning the pages

Don’t lick your finger and try to turn the page; that’s unsanitary and will streak the glass. Instead, here’s how to move within an eBook.

Going forward a page:

• Tap anywhere along the right edge of the page.
• Swipe from the right side of the screen toward the left. Think of this as flicking a page from the right side of an opened book to flip it over. Place your finger on the right side of the page and with a light amount of pressure keep it in contact as you flick it to the left.

Going back a page:

• Tap anywhere along the left edge of the page.
• Swipe from the left side of the screen toward the right.

But wait, it gets better. You can choose amongst three different animated page turn effects. One or another might be more pleasing to you, or perhaps you’d like to impress the youngsters with a bit of flash. Here’s how:

1. From any Home screen, tap the Apps icon.
2. Tap the NOOK Settings icon.
3. Tap Reader.
4. Tap Books.

5. Choose an option:

   • Slide. One page slides smoothly to the other, as if there were no gravity or friction or peanut butter on the pages.
   • Curl. The page magically curls at one corner and rolls over to the next page. This is the one to use to impress non-believers. See Figure 9-4.
   • None. If you’re a strictly business, no-nonsense type, choose this option and one page is almost instantly replaced by the next.

   For magazines, follow Steps 1–3, and then choose Magazines & Newspapers. There you have two choices: Slide or Curl.

Page turn effects are only available for books or magazines that are formatted using the EPUB specification, one of the most common means of encoding text for an eReader. If the publication uses a different formatting scheme, such as PDF, you’ll just have to settle for one page flopping over onto the other, which is still pretty cool if you think about it.

Divining the table of contents

Maybe you don’t know what page you want. Instead, you’d like to see the chapters in the table of contents. Or perhaps you’d like to search the book. Or you’ve decided that the typeface is too small or the page background is the wrong color. These are all fine thoughts, and with an electronic device like this one, your wishes are the NOOK’s command.

To display the table of contents, open a book and then tap the center of the page. You’ll see a panel with an option helpfully labelled Contents; tap it. See Figure 9-5.

The sections and chapters are here. You can scroll up or down through the listing, and best of all, the entries are active. The current chapter is highlighted by a gray bar. In most books you can jump immediately to a section by tapping the name. Scroll up or down through the contents and then tap a chapter or section to open it.

Remaking a book to your preference

And for customization of your book; there’s no need for scissors, pots of glue, pencils, or erasers. You’ve got the tool you need at the tip of your finger.

Start with customizing the type size, font style, margins, and other page elements.

Setting your own type

To change the appearance of a page, do this:

1. Tap anywhere on the page of text.

   The main reading tools open.

2. Tap the Text Settings (Aa) icon.
3. Select type size, font, margins, line spacing, or the color theme for the page.

For most books, you can choose from eight type sizes, six typefaces, three line spacings, three margin options, and six background colors. Feel free to experiment with the fonts to find one that’s easiest to read. See Figure 9-6.

To be precise about it, in printing terms, font refers to a particular style of type at a specific size. For example, 12-point Times Roman would be a font that uses the common newspaper-style typeface Times Roman at a size where its largest letter (usually characters like M or W) is 12 points tall; in typography there are 72 points to the inch, and so this particular font would be about 1/6^th of an inch high. But with digital readers, the term has been changed: In this example, Times Roman is the font and its size is 12 points.

When you’re choosing a type size, start at the fifth or sixth largest for a good balance between readability and number of words that fit on the page. Feel free to experiment, though; tapping any of the As changes the size of the type that shows behind or above the menu.

Choosing a color theme

With an advanced eReader like the Galaxy Tab S2 NOOK and its color LCD, you can choose the “paper” and the text color for most books. In some lighting situations it might be easier to have a black background with white type, or perhaps a soothing dark brown on tan background. See Figure 9-7.

I like to do my own book design. I generally prefer a serif font like Georgia, a medium size, and tight line spacing. And depending on how late in the day it is, I sometimes choose the Butter theme over Day.

Finding a topic or passage in a book

Since every word in an electronic book exists in computer memory, it’s a snap to quickly search for a particular name, phrase, or other element.

The tool is, appropriately, called Find in Book. Here’s how to use it:

1. Tap the center of the page to display the reading tools at the top.

2. Tap the Menu icon in the upper right. See Figure 9-8.

   The onscreen keyboard will appear.

3. Enter the word or phrase and then tap the Search (magnifying glass) icon.

   The screen shows all instances of the word it finds. You can jump to any of them by tapping the listing. See Figure 9-9.

If you know exactly what you want to find, enter the word, name, or phrase. Otherwise, for better results be a bit fuzzy. For example, if you want to find soy, soybean, or soybeans, then search for soy. A search for soybeans will exclude soy and soybean.

You’ll see a list if the word or phrase appears in multiple places; you can jump to any particular one with the tap of your finger. The more specific you are in your search, the more likely you are to find something quickly. Searching for eye of a needle is going to be much more direct than searching for eye.

To use the built-in dictionary to look up the meaning of a word, press and hold on the word. To get a more detailed definition, tap the A-Z icon when the definition pops up.

Many publishers deliver their books with a recommended design. You can make any available design changes, but if you want to quickly switch back to the way the publisher intended you to see the book, move the slider marked to Publisher Defaults On.

Placing and finding bookmarks

An electronic bookmark works just like a piece of cardboard between pages: It lets you quickly open to a particular page. You can set as many bookmarks as you like in each book.

To place a bookmark, tap the right corner of the screen. A ribbon-like icon appears, indicating you have put a bookmark there.

To see a list of bookmarks electronically inserted into a book, do this:

1. Tap the center of the page.

   Some options appear.

2. Tap the Table of Contents icon.

   I know; that doesn’t seem quite right, but they didn’t ask me when they designed this feature.

3. Tap the Bookmarks option to see a list of bookmarked pages.
4. Tap any of the pages to quickly jump to it.

Jumping to a page

With a printed book, you can flip through the pages, jumping from 38 to 383. With an electronic book, it’s easy, but different.

• Use the slider. The slider, which you can see in Figure 9-10, comes up at the bottom of your eBook page if you tap. It’s a blue horizontal line with a glowing dot somewhere along its path. The dot shows where you are in the book. Drag the slider right or left. If you’re reading a book that someone has loaned you, a button at the right end of the slider lets you buy your own copy.

• Enter a Jump To page number. Follow these steps to quickly jump to a particular page in an eBook:

  1. Tap anywhere on the text.

     The page slider appears.

  2. Tap the Menu icon in the upper right.
  3. Tap the Jump to Page option.

     A numeric keypad appears.

  4. Type a specific page number.

  Page numbering is relative to the typeface, type size, and other design settings you have made.

Shopping an electronic catalog

When I was a youngster — a long, long time ago in a galaxy far away — there were basically only two ways to shop: going to a retail store on Main Street or buying from a catalog, which we used to call mail order. At one time, companies like Sears, Roebuck would produce huge catalogs of hundreds of items. It was a great entertainment to read the catalog from cover to cover, dreaming of tools and toys, shoes and sofas. You’d mail in your order with a check, and a week or two later a truck would appear with the goodies.

Almost all of the big catalogs have gone away now, replaced by the nearly infinite capacity of the Internet and its up-to-the-second inventory counts. But a few specialty catalogs have held on, and now with the NOOK they’ve become a hybrid life form that brings together old and new in exciting ways.

Within the NOOK Store, you can subscribe to a single issue of a catalog or agree to receive each issue as it comes; most are produced quarterly or monthly, and nearly all are free.

The catalogs are produced in great style, with colorful pictures and illustrations. Some of them also include interactive hotspots: Tap them to visit a web page that might include video or other interactive material. Now you not only can read all the details of the latest satellite-connected self-driving auto-sharpening lawnmower with built-in refrigerator and barbecue grill, but you can see it in use.

You flip through the pages of a catalog just as you do a magazine. I especially like using the page curl animation as I hunt for that perfect item I never knew I needed. See Figure 9-12.

Your tablet must have an active Wi-Fi connection to the web to view the hotspots. Some catalog companies may allow you to place an order directly from within the pages, again by venturing out on the web.

By default, all catalog hotspots are available to you. If you want to turn off the hotpots, you can do that:

1. From any Home screen, tap the Apps icon and then tap the NOOK Settings icon.
2. Tap Reader.
3. Tap Enable HotSpots to turn them on or off.

Kids’ books are special

Keep these picture-book tips in mind:

• Enlarge a book by spreading with two fingers. This isn’t available on all books.
• Tap the up arrow at the center bottom of the page to see thumbnails (small pictures) of each page in the book; scroll left or right through them and tap the page you want to visit. Or you can let a kid do it.
• Children’s books open in landscape mode to better present the two-page spreads of most picture books.
• If the speaker is tough to hear, use two sets of earphones plugged into a splitter. Splitters are available at most electronics stores and shacks.

Choosing a reading style

Some children’s books can narrate themselves. Others move. These special features appear only if the book includes them.

• Read by Myself. Just the words and pictures. Tap the blue button to open the book. Some special activities may be marked with a white star; tap the star to play. Better yet, let a kid tap the star.

• Read to Me or Read and Play. Read and Play books have audio tracks and interactive features marked with a white star. Tap the orange Read to Me button or the purple Read and Play buttons to hear the author or an actor read aloud.

  If you’re enjoying a Read and Play book, you can turn the pages only by tapping the onscreen arrows. The pages won’t turn if you tap them.

• Read and Record. Daddy or Mommy (or a child!) can become the voice of a book. Here’s how:
  1. Tap the cover of a kid’s book that has the Read and Record feature.
  2. On the opening screen, tap the green Read and Record button.
  3. Tap the green Record button.

     It changes to a Stop button. But don’t stop.

  4. Start reading.
  5. When you’re done recording, tap the Stop button.

Keep these general read-and-record tips in mind:

• The tiny hole on the right side of the Tab S2 NOOK, just below the Volume key, is the microphone. Don’t cover it with your hand while you’re recording.
• Hold the tablet about 15 inches away from your mouth.
• Try to record in a quiet place without background noise.
• To hear your recording right away, press the Play button. Press the Pause button when you’re done listening.
• If you’re a perfectionist (or if someone dropped a pile of plates while the microphone was on), press the Re-record button and do it again.
• To keep recording, swipe or tap to the next page and then tap the Record button.
• To stop recording, tap the Done button in the lower left. A screen asks you to choose a picture as a symbol. Type a name for the recording.
• To play a recording, open the book and tap the picture icon for the file you created.
• To re-record, change the name (or delete the audio file, tap the Edit button next to the picture icon, and then choose the option you want).

Buying a book

Sooner or later you’re going to find a book you want to add to your library. On behalf of authors and publishers everywhere, we thank you for your investment in fine literature of all kind. Here’s what’s next:

1. Tap the cover to see its details.

   Sometimes you’re offered a sample from the book. To drop a not-very-subtle hint to someone about the perfect birthday gift for you, tap the Share icon to send an email detailing what you’ve found. You can also rate and review your thoughts about the title, posting to Facebook or Twitter. See Figure 9-15.

2. To buy an eBook, tap the blue box that shows the price.

   Are you sure? You’re asked to confirm your purchase.

3. Confirm your purchase.

   Some books are offered for the can’t-beat-it price of free. Publishers do this to try and build an audience for a series of books. If you ask for a copy of a free book, you’re still asked to confirm your decision.

   Any eBook that has a price tag is charged to your credit card and the title comes to your Tab S2 NOOK, usually within a few seconds. If an eBook’s download is interrupted because of a problem with the wireless connection or other causes, the download automatically resumes the next time it gets a chance.

   The new item appears on the Active shelf on the Home screen and in your library. It wears a New badge until you open it.

Buying magazines or newspapers

You can buy individual issues of a newspaper or magazine, or subscribe to daily, weekly, or monthly delivery. Just as in the world of paper and ink, the best deals come with longer-term subscriptions. Once you buy, the first issue downloads immediately.

Nearly every magazine and newspaper offers free 14-day trials; you can get one free trial for each publication. If you cancel the subscription before the end of the trial, your credit card isn’t charged. Otherwise, deliveries continue and your credit card is charged automatically at the monthly subscription rate. To cancel a periodical subscription, go to your account at www.nook.com, log in, and go to the Manage Subscriptions section.

To buy a single issue or to subscribe, follow these steps:

1. Tap the cover.

   You’ll see the price for the current issue, and elsewhere on the page you can see the price for a monthly subscription. See Figure 9-16.

2. To buy the latest issue only, tap Buy Current Issue. To buy a subscription, tap Start My Free Trial.

   If you subscribe, you get the first issue and have 14 days to decide whether to continue. If you cancel within those 14 days, you’ll have received that first issue for free. If you don’t cancel, you’re on the hook for at least one subscription cycle (usually one month) at the subscription price — but you can cancel any time after then.

   It’s almost a no-brainer: Take the free trial for any magazine or newspaper you want to try. The month-to-month subscription usually represents a significant savings over buying a single issue, and you can cancel any time. Note that you can only take a free trial once for any particular publication.

3. Tap Confirm.

   The issue downloads.

4. Tap the Read button.

If you already subscribe to the print version of a newspaper or magazine, the publisher may offer a discount on digital versions. You can call or check the web page for the publication, or follow these steps:

1. Visit the NOOK Store and go to My Account.
2. Go to Manage Digital Subscriptions and look for the link to verify a print subscription.
3. Enter your print subscription account number (usually on your magazine’s mailing label).

Subscribing to catalogs

Catalogs are free; the companies that provide them very much want you salivating over their shoes, dresses, fruitcakes, and gadgets. Some of the first offerings were from major sellers like L.L. Bean, Sharper Image, Omaha Steaks, Pottery Barn, and Ross-Simons.

When you tap the cover of a catalog, you wind up on a purchase screen very much like one for a magazine. You’ll see two choices, and both are free:

• Current Edition: Just this once.
• Free Subscription: You’re going to get each new edition of the catalog.

NOOK offers more than three million books, magazines, newspapers, and other types of media in its online store. What you cannot purchase from the NOOK Store are printed books, scented candles, lava lamps, and other physical items. To purchase them, use the NOOK’s web browser to visit the www.bn.com page and place your order there.

Managing video on multiple devices

If you purchase video content from the NOOK Store, you are allowed to view that content on as many as five different devices. What does that mean? If you happen to own two NOOKs, you can watch the same video on either one. If you have a streaming video device attached to a large-screen television, or a laptop computer with a NOOK app installed, they too can stream the video you have purchased.

The one additional necessary step is to tell the BN mother ship which devices are authorized to access your NOOK Video collection. Here’s how:

1. From any Home screen, tap the Apps icon and then tap the NOOK Settings icon.

2. Tap Video and then tap Manage NOOK Video.

   You’ll see a screen that lists the NOOK devices currently associated with your account and authorized to access content.

   To remove a device from the list of authorized devices, tap its name and then confirm that you want to delete it.

   To give permission to a new device, you must sign in on that device using the same account name and password you used to purchase the video content. Add a checkmark next to the name of a device to authorize it for video viewing.

Paying the bill

Unless you say otherwise, your credit card is charged when you buy something from Barnes & Noble. It’s all done for you; there are no receipts to sign.

If you have a Barnes & Noble gift card, you can add its value to your account:

1. Tap the Menu icon in the upper-right corner.
2. Tap Shop Settings.

3. Tap Credit Cards or Gift Cards and enter information there as requested.

   The NOOK Store accepts Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, or gift cards and access codes. If you have any problems with a gift card or credit card, call customer service at the NOOK Shop or use its chat line.

   You must enter your billing address, and current BN rules limit purchases to those who reside in the United States or Canada.

   Adding a gift card requires entry of the card or certificate number, plus the four-digit PIN for the card.

4. Tap Submit to complete the addition of the card to your account.

Archiving to the NOOK cloud

Have you ever been accused of walking around with your head in a cloud? So have I. And so, too, does your Tab S2 NOOK. Every registered user is automatically set up with unlimited storage back at the Barnes & Noble mother ship (also known as the cloud).

All items you get from the NOOK Store are automatically maintained in an archive at Barnes & Noble as well as on your device. You can also remove an item from your NOOK, which takes away its file from your tablet but keeps the link between your device and the NOOK cloud so that you can someday bring it back to the tablet.

A file that you remove from your NOOK leaves behind only an icon or picture of its cover to remind you; any time you want to get that reading material, you can restore it from the NOOK cloud. You must have an active Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to retrieve the file. See Figure 9-18.

Why would you remove something from your NOOK to the archive or cloud?

• You want to clear some space in the built-in memory or microSD card.
• Your Tab S2 NOOK or other NOOK device is stolen or permanently deceased; sign in to the same account to restore all the files to a new device or app.

You can archive any of these from the NOOK cloud: books, magazines, newspapers, or catalogs. You can also reinstall apps or videos you have purchased.

The NOOK cloud is only for material that you get from the NOOK Store. You can’t place personal files or media from other sources. However, you can connect your NOOK to a computer and make a backup folder of your personal material on that device.

Here’s how to archive NOOK Store files:

1. Go to the NOOK library.
2. Press and hold on the book cover.

3. Tap Archive.

   The book or other publication goes away, but if you tap the Menu icon in the upper-right corner of the library, you see View Archive. From there, you can restore items. (You must have an active Wi-Fi signal to archive or restore, of course.)

There’s another way, with a bit of confusing terminology:

1. Go to the NOOK library.
2. Press and hold on the cover of the book.

3. Tap Remove from Device.

   Yes, I know this sounds like the book will be deleted and gone forever, but that’s not the case. It’s removed from the hardware and kept in your archive even though it doesn’t say that exactly. You can get it back by going to the archive; just tap the Menu icon in your NOOK library.

There’s a big difference between archiving and deleting. If you archive an item, you can get it back from the NOOK cloud. If you delete any item, you erase it from your NOOK and can’t get it without going back to the original source.

After you buy a book from Barnes & Noble, you own the license to that title on up to six devices or apps registered to your account. You can leave the book file on your Tab S2 NOOK or you can archive it back to your account, which removes it from the tablet but keeps it in your available material in the NOOK cloud. The key: All devices or applications must be registered to the same account.

Performing a sync or refresh

You can also sync your Tab S2 NOOK to your NOOK account; doing so keeps it updated with all your currently purchased content. Syncing also lets you know about tablet updates, book loan offers, and other notices.

Items you’ve archived aren’t synced.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to the NOOK library.
2. Tap the Menu icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Tap Refresh.

Setting up an adult profile

To set up an adult profile, follow these steps:

1. Sign in as the holder of the primary profile.
2. From any Home screen, tap the Apps icon, and then the NOOK Settings gear.
3. Tap Profile. See Figure 9-19.
4. Tap the + symbol at the upper-right corner.
5. Type a name for the new profile.
6. Follow the onscreen prompts to decide whether you want existing NOOK Store content available to the holder of the new profile.
7. Tap Next to complete.

Creating a child profile

To set up a child profile, follow these steps:

Sign in as the holder of the Primary Profile. Then do this:

1. From any Home screen, tap the Apps icon, and then tap the NOOK Settings icon.
2. Tap Profile.
3. Tap the + symbol at the upper right.
4. Type in a name for the new profile.
5. Tap the checkbox next to Child Profile, enter the child’s age, and accept the terms and conditions.
6. Tap Next.
7. Follow the onscreen prompts to select the permissions you want to give the child.
8. Tap Next to complete.

Using parental controls, you can control whether a specific child (or group of children to whom you give the particular profile) can do any or all of the following:

• Browse the NOOK Store.
• Purchase from the NOOK Store only when they’re given and properly use your NOOK account password.
• Shop only for kids’ content.
• Access Reads for Kids, Videos for Kids, Apps for Kids, or Games for Kids.

You can also select which TV and movie ratings are offered to the child: G, PG, PG-13, TV Y, TV Y7, TV G, or TV 14.

Managing content for a profile

You can share all or some or none of the content in your library with each profile. Depending on the item, the user of the other profile may have immediate access to a book or other publication or may need to download it; if granted permission, the profile user merely taps the cover of a book that has a download icon and waits for it to arrive from the NOOK cloud.

An active Wi-Fi system with Internet access is required for any download.

Annotations to a publication, such as notes and highlights, are specific to the profile that added them. As the primary profile, if you make notes, they aren’t visible to other profiles. Similarly, if someone using a different profile makes notes or highlights, they’re not visible to other profiles.

And it gets even niftier: If two or more profiles have access to the same book, their reading positions in the book are tracked independently of each other. So you can stop reading on page 38 and return to that spot, while another profile holder can be at page 237.

Switching between profiles

When you have at least two profiles set up on your NOOK, the primary profile can switch between the identities you have created on the device. Here’s how:

1. From within the NOOK Store, NOOK Library, or NOOK Home, tap the NOOK Navigation Menu (three horizontal stacked bars).

2. Tap the name of the current profile,

   A list of additional profiles created for the device appears.

3. Tap the profile name to which you want to switch.

Deleting a profile

As the holder of the primary profile, you can delete an adult or child profile.

Deleting one of the secondary profiles does not delete the primary account from the device.

Here’s how to remove an adult or child profile:

1. From any Home screen, tap the Apps icon, and then tap the NOOK Settings icon.
2. Tap Profile.
3. Tap beside the profile you want to delete and then tap the Trash icon beside the name.
4. Tap Delete to confirm your instruction.

Reading covers

To some extent, you actually can tell a book by its cover on the NOOK: not so much about what’s inside, but a great deal about its status or stature in your collection.

• New. Freshly downloaded and ready to be opened. This badge goes away after the first time you open the document.
• Sample. A free sample of a book or other publication.
• Download. A publication that’s either downloading or is waiting to be downloaded from the NOOK Shop.
• Pre-order. A title has been announced and is for sale, but isn’t available for download yet. If you buy it, the book or publication will arrive at the first opportune moment and your credit card will then be billed.
• Recommended. A friend or contact has suggested that you check out this title.
• LendMe. A book that you can loan to someone.
• Lent. A book you’re borrowing; the badge also indicates the number of days remaining on the loan. (While a book’s loaned out, the original owner can’t open it.)

Building your own shelves

When your NOOK arrives, it has basic shelves of this sort: Books, Magazines, Movies & TV, Kids, Catalogs, and Newspapers. Below that, My Shelves is where you can create and fill your own collection in any way you choose. And finally, a section called My Files holds any personal files you have moved over to the Tab S2 NOOK.

Using reading tools

You have a whole other pathway to the bells and whistles. From the Reading Tools menu, you can move quickly through a book, search for something specific, share your knowledge, or change the way the page looks. I call these the secondary reading tools, but they’re part of the same toolkit.

To see the secondary reading tools, press and hold on a word or anywhere on the page. It might take a few tries to get the hang of it: Tapping brings up the full set of tools, including the slider bar. A more determined press-and-hold brings up the secondary reading tools shown in Figure 9-20.

The tool highlights a word if that’s what you’ve touched; it highlights a nearby word if you’ve pressed on a blank spot. Above the highlight, you see the buttons described in the following sections:

• Highlight (in blue, green, or yellow)
• Add Note
• Share
• Look Up
• Find in Book

Add Note

You can insert a comment (up to 512 characters) about the highlighted word or phrase; the date and time are included. A small icon that looks like a sticky note with a + mark will appear onscreen.

• You can search for what’s in your note.
• You can view and change notes any time.
• You can make notes invisible. Why? Perhaps you want to share a selection or loan a book but keep your comments private.

To perform other actions on a note you’ve already made, use the primary reading tools. Here’s how:

1. Tap anywhere on the page.

   The slider bar and system bar appear at the bottom of the page.

2. Tap the Contents icon.

   The icon looks like a stack of four dotted bars. It’s pointed out in Figure 9-21.

3. Tap the Highlights and Notes tab if it isn’t already selected.

4. Tap one of the notes.

   You’re taken to the page where it’s attached.

5. Tap the highlighted word on the page.

   A menu appears like the one in Figure 9-21.

6. Tap an option:
   • View Note. Tap to read the comments you placed there.
   • Edit Note. Tap to see the comments onscreen. Use the keyboard to make changes. When you’re done, tap Save.

   • Remove Note. Tap to delete the note; there’s no second chance, so be sure this is what you want to do.

   • Remove Highlight. Tap to take away the color highlighting. The color shading disappears immediately, but you can always press the word and reinstall a bit of a hue.
   • Change Color. Tap one of three colors (aqua, lime green, or sunset yellow) to make a change.

Dog-earing a page

Back in ancient times, I used to tear up any old piece of paper I could find and insert it into the pages of a book I was reading. (I never could bring myself to crease the corners of a book or write in its pages. A book in my library, though read half a dozen times, still looks as pristine as the day it was bought.)

Here’s how modern folk bookmark an electronic publication:

• Bookmark the page you’re reading. Tap in the upper-right corner of the page. A small blue ribbon appears in the corner of the page. To make the bookmark go away, tap the blue ribbon in the upper-right corner of the page.
• See all the bookmarks in a book. Follow these steps to see everything you’ve bookmarked:
  1. Tap the center of the page to open the reading tools.
  2. Tap the Contents icon (pointed out in Figure 9-21).
  3. Tap the Bookmarks tab (in the Contents pane). See Figure 9-22.

     • To jump to a bookmarked page, tap a bookmark in the list.

     • Tap anywhere on the page outside the list of bookmarks to close the list.
• Clear all bookmarks in a book. Follow along to get rid of all the bookmarks in a single book:
  1. Tap the Contents icon (pointed out in Figure 9-21).
  2. Tap the Bookmarks tab.
  3. Tap Clear All.
  4. Tap OK.
