How To Adjust The Text On a Nook
The Nook by Barnes and Nobles is one of the most popular tablets and is widely used for reading e-books. The use of e-books has been on the rise in recent years, with several new devices coming to the fore. Devices today not only support e-books but also different media formats and are replacing conventional mediums like radios, music players, paper books and magazines. These readers greatly facilitate reading, giving the user options to change background color, font type, size, spacing and margins.
