Default gaining access to "option" in apps

Since the only keys are the N and the volume on the Tablet....is there any way to access the options in the apps that are ran to change the settings? I am getting a Tablet next week (cannot fraking wait!) and just realized this. Has this been a problem for anyone else?

It's no problem, there are soft keys at the bottom of the screen which come up contextually so you can go back or access the menus.

Alternatively you can use button saviour and have the buttons all the time. You'll be happy with the tablet

I found that Button Savior is not necessary. The Back and Menu buttons come up in the status bar when they're available.

I use Homecatcher to access Go Launcher EX and installed Nook Color App Manager to install frequently used apps on the stock Home screen.

I've been VERY HAPPY with my Nook Tablet.

Button saviour is good for when your using full screen apps and want to access the menu. Like watching a video on MX player or reading in certain apps. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to.

Can App Manger be installed on a non-rooted device? I would like to use that app but I haven't been able to find the apk for download. Everyplace wants me to get it from the android marketplace. If it only works on rooted devices, I'll quit looking for a standalone apk to download since I'm really nervous about voiding my warranty on my new toy by rooting.

Root isn't needed, and someone linked to their copy of the apk in this post.

Thank you very much. I've been looking for that for a couple days.
