Suggested things to try:
1. Read at least a whole chapter or a whole article.
2. Try changing the font size, typeface, screen rotation.
3. Bookmark some pages.
4. Highlight passages and take some notes.
5. Sort your titles in different ways. Try the "my shelf" option to create new shelves and add your books to them. Name them by topic or whatever you like. The same books can be on more than one shelf.
6. Plug the USB cable from the Nook to your computer. Copy a PDF file that you would like to read on to the disk that appears (this is yourNook ). Put it in the "my files" folder of the Nook (inside Documents). Unplug and read it on your Nook (look for it under "my files"). Try increasing the font size.
Subject liaisons:
Download some PDF content from MIT libraries ejournals or ebooks in your subject areas (on your computer) and try loading that on the Kindle by the method above.
7. Try the web browser (Home buttonarrow icon in center bottom row, then hit Menu button, select "Experimentalweb").
This is a wifi KindleNook, so you'll need to be in a wifi zone to use the web. (Hint... this is very awkward on the Kindle!) If you see a list of networks, tap the one you wish to join. After it's been used on a network, it should remember it and bypass this screen. (tip: if it's having trouble, turn the wifi off and back on again, then try again). Try searching Barton, Vera, or DSpace. Since there are no MIT certificates on the KindleNook, you can enter your MIT username and password on the Touchstone screen when you are accessing licensed content.
