About Tapestries
Tapestries provide endless ways to visually collect and organize content – books, magazines, music, apps, and more.
For example, you could create a Tapestry to:
• Track your favorite author – link to their Twitter feed and blog, keep details of upcoming tours, magazine articles, and of course, keep all their books handy!
• Organize activities – add apps that alert you to appointments, and keep lists of favorite places to eat or play.

• Simplify shopping – add the apps for magazines that you follow, keep track of discount deals, mix and match online images and personal photos to give you new ideas, and save links for where you go to buy.
There are a few Tapestries on your Home Tapestry with pre-‐selected content, including:
• Reading: Apps and widgets for reading books, magazines, comics, manga, and more.
• Entertainment: Apps and widgets for videos, games, music, and more.
• Browsing: Links to popular sites such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Twitter.
• Social: Apps and widgets for social activities such as Pinterest,
Twitter, and Skype.
At the bottom of your Kobo Arc Tapestries you’ll find Discover.
Discover is a powerful and fun feature that responds to your interests, showing you new things related to what you’re already collecting, so you don’t need to spend time searching the Internet.
For example, if you’ve been reading books about ghosts recently,
Discover may suggest books in the horror genre, web sites about famous hauntings, or songs about love and loss.
When you’re on your Home Tapestry, you’ll see items in Discover related to all your Tapestries; once you’ve opened any other Tapestry, you’ll see items related to that specific Tapestry.
