Down at the bottom of the NOOK Tablet, you’ll find the NOOK button, which just happens to be in the horseshoe shape of the NOOK symbol. If the tablet is sleeping (see Power Button), pressing the NOOK button wakes it up. If the tablet is already awake, pressing the button opens the Quick Nav bar that lets you take advantage of all of the tablet’s features. (For more details, see The Quick Nav Bar.) Pressing the NOOK button twice in a row brings you to the tablet’s Home screen (Home Screen).
When the NOOK Color received a software update, it began working just like the NOOK Tablet. That update, numbered 1.41, was released at the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012. There’s a chance that your NOOK Color hasn’t yet received the update. If that’s the case, the NOOK Color will operate somewhat differently than you read here. Fear not, though: If you don’t have it yet, the software update is on the way.
