Here’s where you control how the NOOK Tablet’s screen behaves:
Auto-rotate screen. If you want the NOOK to automatically switch its screen orientation when you rotate it, make sure this box is turned on.
Note
In some apps and instances, the NOOK won’t rotate its screen to match the direction in which you’ve turned the NOOK. If you’re watching a video on Netflix, for example, it plays only in the horizontal (landscape) orientation. And if you’re on the Home screen, no matter how you rotate your NOOK, it always stays in vertical (portrait) mode.
Brightness. Tap here and a slider appears that lets you change your screen brightness. Tap OK when you’re done.
Screen timeout. Shows how long should the screen stays on before the NOOK darkens it and puts it to sleep. Tap here, and choose 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or an hour. The shorter the interval, the longer your battery will last on a charge.
