Reading Screen
This is where you read your
eBooks, newspapers, magazines,
PDF documents, and more. You
can also shop Barnes & Noble’s
eBookstore for great new titles.
The reading screen is not touch
sensitive. Use the color touchscreen
below and the page turn buttons on
the left and right sides of the
reading screen to navigate on the
reading screen.
The reading screen uses E Ink®
display technology that gives crisp
images without glare, like a printed
page. It is comfortable to read
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.

Bingley, “for a kingdom! Upon my honour, I never
met with so many pleasant girls in my life as I have
this evening; and there are several of them, you see,
uncommonly pretty.”
“You are dancing with the only handsome girl in
the room,” said Mr. Darcy, looking at the eldest
Miss Bennet.
“Oh, she is the most beautiful creature I ever
beheld! But there is one of her sisters sitting down
just behind you, who is very pretty, and I dare say
very agreeable. Do let me ask my partner to
introduce you.”
“Which do you mean?” and turning round, he
looked for a moment at Elizabeth, till, catching her
eye, he withdrew his own, and coldly said, “She is
tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me
and I am in no humour at present to give
consequence to young ladies who are slighted by
