You’ve opened the box to find your shiny (at least the screen is shiny; the back has a comfortable matte finish) new NOOK Tablet, USB cord, and power adapter. What now? If you’ve already found the included “Quick Start Guide” tucked under the device, you’ll know how to press the power button to turn on the device, but not a whole lot more than that.

In this chapter, you’ll take a tour beyond the power button and opening splash screen to see what’s on the surface and get a taste of what’s just beneath in this easy-to-carry, do-everything device.
