Wallpaper
The background of the Home Screen is a wallpaper image. The same wallpaper appears on all three panels.
Your NOOKcolor includes several wallpaper patterns you can choose from to customize the appearance of the
Home Screen. You can also upload images and photos to your NOOKcolor and select one of your own images or
photos to use as the Home Screen’s wallpaper.
You can change the wallpaper from the Home Screen, as described below, or from the Settings screen.

3. Tap on the choice you want. (Or, to leave the wallpaper unchanged, tap anywhere outside the dialog box.)
When you select, a new screen will open, allowing you to scroll horizontally through images until you are display-
ing the image you would like to configure as the Home Screen’s wallpaper.
4. When you have made your selection, tap the Set Wallpaper button at the bottom of the screen.
If you would like to exit the Home configuration screen without making a selection, tap the Cancel button in-
stead.
When you have finished with the Wallpaper selection, your NOOKcolor returns you to the Home Screen.
The Daily Shelf
The Daily Shelf is a row of books, magazines, and newspapers that runs along the bottom of the Home Screen. The
Daily Shelf holds items that you have recently opened or received.
The following actions cause an item to appear at the left of the Daily Shelf:
• Buying a book, magazine, or newspaper.
• Downloading a free book.
• Lending or borrowing a book.
• Automatically receiving a new issue of any magazine or newspaper for which you have a subscription.
• Using a menu choice in the Library to move an item to the Daily Shelf.
New books, magazines, and newspapers are marked with a flag that says “New.”
The Daily Shelf runs left to right in chronological order. Newest items appear at the left. Swipe your finger across the
Shelf to scroll left and right through its contents.
The Daily Shelf holds up to 50 items. Once the Daily Shelf is full, it can still accept new items, but it will automatically
remove the oldest item to make room for the newest.
