A book’s table of contents does a lot more than just let you navigate by chapter title. It’s also your gateway into three great NOOK features—Notes, Highlights, and Bookmarks. (You learned how to create a bookmark in A Tour of the Book Reader; for help on creating notes and highlights, turn to Handling Notes.)
Tap Contents on the Reader Tools menu, and you come to a page with three tabs: Contents, Notes & Highlights, and Bookmarks.
Tap the Notes & Highlights tab and you’ll see the list of all the notes and highlights you’ve added to your book. To jump to any, tap it.
Tap a listing, and you go to the page with the note or highlight. The text that you highlighted or attached a note to is highlighted in green. If there’s a note, you see a small blue note icon in the right margin. Tap the icon to read or edit the note.
Note
The list in the table of contents doesn’t distinguish between notes and highlights, so you won’t know what you’re tapping until you get there.
Tap the Bookmarks tab, and you see a list of your bookmarks. Tap any to go to one. If you’d like to delete all your bookmarks, tap “Clear all” at the bottom of the tab and they all vamoose.
If you’re looking at the table of contents and decide not to use it, tap on the page behind it. The table of contents vanishes.
Note
If you read a book on a device other than your NOOK, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone, the next time you open the book on your NOOK, you’ll jump to the page you were reading on that device, even if you haven’t yet read the page on the NOOK. This magic only happens, though, if both the device you’re reading the book on and the NOOK have Internet access while you’re reading.
