Barnes & Noble has hopped on the Surface Duo bandwagon, optimizing its official Nook app for Android for Microsoft’s novel new dual-screen device. Much like Amazon’s Kindle reader app before it, the Nook app now properly orients itself around the Duo’s hinge, making it feel like reading an actual book or magazine.

In order to use the Nook app with Surface Duo in this way, you will have to do some toggling with its settings, however. Under the “Reader” settings, you’ll have to find the “Column Mode for Landscape” option. From there, select “Always Two Columns.”

Now, when you’re reading a book, comic, or magazine in landscape orientation, the Nook app will keep pages separated between screens. The hinge won’t cover any content in whatever you’re reading.
