.
Try to avoid fully discharging your battery. Recharge it when it gets down to
approximately 20% or so. Although charging it repeatedly is not necessarily
a bad thing, the battery seems to function optimally if you charge it only
when it drops down toward that 20% area.
.
To maximize battery life, turn off Wi-Fi, and leave it off whenever you don’t
need it. Same goes with Bluetooth.
.
Avoid high heat. Reading in sunlight is fine, but avoid storing your NOOK
near a heat source.
.
If storing your NOOK for a long period (a week or more), charge the battery
to approximately 50% rather than giving it a full charge. The battery, even
off, slowly loses its charge—very slowly, but loses nonetheless. By charging
it to 50% only and then powering it off for a long time, it mimics how it was
initially packaged and shipped. The 50% will go away slowly, and when you
power it on again, it may have a low charge, but it is more like what the
“factory” setting would have been.
By following these instructions, your NOOK’s battery should last years. If you do
need to replace the battery, contact B&N Customer Service.
When You Are Not Reading
When you finish reading, you should let your NOOK go to sleep instead of turning it
off. You can force the NOOK to sleep by pressing and quickly letting go of the
Power button.
By leaving your NOOK on with Wi-Fi on, it will occasionally download content from
B&N such as subscription content and any books that you purchase from the B&N
website. When you’re ready to start reading again, simply press and release the power
switch at the top of your NOOK to wake it up. Alternatively, you can press the
Home button.
Your NOOK’s Controls
Before you enjoy content on your NOOK, let’s go over the controls on your NOOK
(see Figures 1.8 and 1.9). In general, you can interact with your NOOK using the
touch controls of tapping, pressing and holding, and swiping. The few physical but-
tons are minimal but provide some tactile controls. The most frequent button you are
likely to use is the Home button.
