When you browse the Web, you may be on a mission of sorts—looking for a specific piece of information. You might be looking for a specific word or phrase within a web page. And when you’re on a page, you may be looking for more information about it. The NOOK browser can do all that and then some. To do it all, press your finger somewhere on the web page that’s not a graphic or link. A menu appears with these options:
Find on page. Looking for text on a page? Tap this option, and a search box appears, along with the keyboard. Type the text or phrase you’re searching for, and the NOOK finds the text, sends you to its location on the page, and highlights it in green. To find the next time the text or phrase is mentioned, tap the right arrow. To find a previous mention of it on the page, tap the left arrow. To exit the search, tap the X to the right of the search box.
Note
The original version of the NOOK Color software gave you an additional option—the ability to copy text to the NOOK Clipboard. But when the NOOK Color software was updated in late 2011 and early 2012, that feature was taken away. The NOOK Tablet never had the feature. However, it’s possible that a software upgrade may make it available again.
Page info. Tap to see basic information about the page—title and web address. Tap Back to make the window disappear.
Settings. Here’s how you can change countless browser settings, including the size of the text displayed, privacy controls, and so on. See Online Privacy and Security for details.
Downloads. As explained in Browsing and Managing Files on your NOOK Tablet, this will bring you to the folder that has all your downloaded files.
Bookmark this page. Tap this option and then add the bookmark in the usual way (Bookmarks).
