Reading Screen
This is where you read your

can also shop Barnes & Noble’s

The reading screen is not touch
sensitive. Use the color touchscreen
below and the page turn buttons on

display technology that gives crisp
images without glare, like a printed

outdoors and in direct sunlight, but,
like paper, it cannot be read in the
dark and requires an external light
source, like a well-lit room or a
book light.

consequence to young ladies who are slighted by
