How to Adjust the Text on a Nook
You can change how the text appears on a Nook with just a few taps in the Reading Tools menu. You can change the size of the text, the font used, spacing between lines and even the size of the margins. Some publishers specify how they want the text to be displayed, and this code is embedded in the e-book itself. You will have to override the defaults on these books before you can adjust the text.
