When the Barnes and Noble NOOKcolor was released on November 19, 2010, one of its signature features was NOOKkids Read to Me ebooks. These books featured a narration (and not a fake, mechanical sounding one) if you wanted it. Moving from page to page, a child could hear the words read to them, and tapping the text would re-read that particular segment. Thumbnail views of each page mimicked the visual magazine representation. The downside of these books is that they were only available for the NOOKcolor.
Fortunately, Barnes and Noble has recently released the NOOK for Kids app for iPad, which enables the same experience with NOOKkids Read to Me ebooks whether you have a NOOKcolor or an iPad.
This article will walk you through using the NOOK kids app for iPad.
Installing and Setting Up NOOK kids for Your iPad
First, find the NOOK kids app in iTunes, whether on your computer or on the iPad itself (in that case, use the App Store)—see Figure 1.
