nook User Guide Power and Charging 15Power and ChargingThis section explains your NOOK’s power management and charging.Device StatesYour NOOK is in one of ﬁve states:• O: Your NOOK is o. Nothing is running.When you ﬁrst take your NOOK out of the package, it is o. We recommend that you also turn your NOOK o when storing it for an extended period and when in checked baggage on an airplane.To turn your NOOK o, press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds, until the reading screen is white and the touchscreen is dark. Then release the power button.Do not turn o your NOOK while it is plugged into a power adapter or USB. If you do, it will not charge.• On: Your NOOK is on. When your NOOK is on, everything works. The main and touch screens are both lit, and you can read content and listen to music or audiobooks. If Airplane mode is on, you cannot do things that require the radio, such as shopping at the B&N eBookstore.To turn your NOOK on, press the power button brieﬂy (for a second or so) and release it, connect your NOOK to a personal computer using the USB cable, or begin charging your NOOK using a wall outlet.When your NOOK powers on, it takes you to the Home screen. It also connects to the network and scans the microSDTM card to check for changes in content.If you are just charging your NOOK and don’t need it to be on, don’t worry. It will go to sleep.• Touchscreen backlight dimmed and then turned o: To save power, your NOOK automatically dims the touchscreen and then turns it o when the touchscreen is not being used. Everything else is still on. You can continue turning pages with the Next Page and Previous Page buttons, or by swiping your ﬁnger on the unlit touchscreen. You can continue listening to music or an audiobook. Conﬁgure the touchscreen timer in Settings. Tap settings > Display > Touchscreen timer.When the touchscreen is dimmed, you can still use it.

nook User Guide Power and Charging 16• Sleep: To save power, your NOOK sleeps after a period of inactivity. It turns o its touchscreen and wireless circuitry. While your NOOK is sleeping it displays a screensaver image on the reading screen. Conﬁgure the sleep timer in Settings. Tap settings > Display > Sleep timer.Do not rely on sleep mode when you should turn on Airplane mode (for example, on an airplane).To wake your NOOK from sleep, press the power button brieﬂy (for a second or so) and release it.When your NOOK awakens from sleep, you are right where you were when it went to sleep.For normal use, because the reading screen does not consume power, just let your NOOK sleep. It takes longer for your NOOK to turn on from o than it does to wake from sleep. Also, by letting it sleep instead of turning it o, your NOOK wakes up periodically to perform tasks like downloading new content.• USB drive mode: When you plug your NOOK into a personal computer, it connects to USB. This puts your NOOK in USB drive mode. In this mode, you can access ﬁles on your NOOK from your personal computer, but your NOOK is locked until you disconnect it from USB.Power ButtonThe shiny metal strip at the top of your NOOK is the power button:To turn your NOOK on, display the touchscreen, awaken your NOOK from sleep, or cause your NOOK to sleep, press the power button for about 1 second and then release it.To turn your NOOK o, press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds, until the reading screen is white and the touchscreen is dark. Then release the power button.

nook User Guide Power and Charging 17Power ManagementYour NOOK uses quite modest amounts of power compared to a laptop computer. It uses a small amount of power to turn a page on the reading screen, but no power to keep the page displayed. The touchscreen does use power when it is lit.To allow you to manage power use, and to give you the experience that suits your reading habits, you can conﬁgure two inactivity periods:• Touchscreen timer: Time from last touchscreen activity until the touchscreen backlight is turned o. You can choose among 10, 30 (the default), and 60 seconds. The touchscreen backlight is dimmed by 50% after half of this time period (5, 15, or 30 seconds).• Sleep timer: Time from last activity (touchscreen or button presses) until your NOOK sleeps. During sleep, a screensaver image is displayed on the reading screen and the touchscreen is unlit. You can choose among 2, 5 (the default), 10, 15, and 20 minutes. Low Charge AlertsYour NOOK has two low-charge alerts:• Low charge alert: When the battery charge is rather low (about 20% charge), your NOOK displays a message to charge it. You can dismiss the message and continue using your NOOK, but you should charge it as soon as possible. To extend the time that the charge lasts, you can turn Airplane mode on. If you turn Airplane mode on, you cannot access your online digital library, The Daily, the Shop, or browse the web.After your NOOK displays the low charge alert, it might turn o wireless connectivity. When it does, you will not be able to access the your online digital library, The Daily, the Shop, or browse the web until you charge your NOOK.• Critically low charge alert: When the battery charge is critically low (too low for continued operation), your NOOK displays a message to charge it and shuts down. The critically low battery level is about 5%.You must charge your NOOK before using it. It will charge faster using the power adapter. When your NOOK has enough charge to run, it will start, but remember that it still has very little charge. You can use it, but should continue charging it.Battery Charge and Charging IndicatorsYour NOOK ships with a partially charged battery. We recommend that you charge your NOOK before using it.

nook User Guide Power and Charging 18Your NOOK has the following indicators of the battery charge and charging.Battery Charge IndicatorsYour NOOK indicates in two places the amount of charge remaining in the battery:• With an icon in the status bar:Battery charge levels when your NOOK is not charging (from low to full charge):Battery charge levels when your NOOK is charging (from low to high):• With a percentage of full charge on the Settings page. The percentage is updated when the battery charge changes.In some cases, the Battery Charge on the Settings summary reads Not available. This is normal. It means that the software that reads the charge got some readings that it could not interpret. After a few minutes, your NOOK will get more readings and display the battery charge.Charging IndicatorsYour NOOK indicates in two places when it is charging the battery:• With a charging indicator light next to the data/charging port. When your NOOK is charging, the charging indicator light to the left of the USB port lights up yellow. When the device is not charging or is fully charged, the charging indicator light is not lit.ChargingIndicator LightIf the charge in your NOOK’s battery is very low, it can take up to about 15 minutes before the charging indicator light turns on.

This is convenient if you are using USB drive mode on your NOOK to transfer ﬁles, or if you are using a personal computer for other things. It is not, however, the fastest way to charge your NOOK. You can charge your NOOK through USB when it is on or sleeping. If your NOOK is o, it will not charge, so it turns on when you plug it in.If your personal computer sleeps or hibernates, it will probably stop charging your NOOK. To charge your NOOK, adjust the settings on your computer so that it does not sleep or hibernate.

nook User Guide Power and Charging 21We recommend that you turn your NOOK on before plugging it into USB.

nook User Guide Safety and Care 36Safety and CareThis section explains important information about safety and about caring for your NOOK.SafetyIf you follow some straightforward precautions, your NOOK is a safe device.ElectricityYour NOOK is an electrical device. Only use an approved power adapter. If you open the back cover, unplug the device from the power adapter and turn it o ﬁrst.WaterYour NOOK is not a waterproof device. If it starts to rain, get under cover or put your NOOK away. Don’t read in the bathtub. You could ruin your NOOK.Situations that Demand Your AttentionSome situations demand your attention. If you shouldn’t be reading a book while doing them, then you shouldn’t be reading on your NOOK either. Driving? Don’t even think about it. Operating a train? Don’t be daft. Watching children? Yes, but only if you can do it in a way that fairly divides your attention and does not endanger them. Use common sense—the eBook will still be on your NOOK to read tomorrow.AirplanesTo use your NOOK on an airplane, set it to Airplane mode. For more information about use on airplanes, see “Use on Airplanes” on page 37.Electronic EquipmentIf you are around sensitive electronic equipment, for example in a hospital, ask if you may use your NOOK. You probably can if you set it to Airplane mode, except in an intensive care setting.BatteryPlease note the following safety information about the battery:• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred the battery.• Do not modify or remanufacture the battery, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse the battery in or expose it to water or other liquids, or expose the battery to ﬁre, explosions, or other hazards.

nook User Guide Safety and Care 38Turn Airplane mode on for the duration of an airplane ﬂight, from take-o through landing. Turn Airplane mode on in other settings where radio signal broadcasting is prohibited. Ask someone whether Airplane mode should be turned on in other settings such as hospitals.Turning Airplane mode o (the default setting) lets your NOOK manage when the wireless circuitry is turned on and o, so that your NOOK can send and receive radio signals when it needs to.When Airplane mode is on, the status bar contains this icon: To turn Airplane mode on or o:1 On the Home menu, tap wi-ﬁ. The current setting is displayed in the Airplane mode menu.2 Tap the Airplane mode menu to toggle between On and O.You can also toggle Airplane mode on and o from the settings > Airplane mode menu.On the NOOK (Wi-Fi + 3G model), when you turn Airplane mode o, Wi-Fi remains o if it was o prior to Airplane mode being turned on, and Wi-Fi is turned on if it was on prior to Airplane mode being turned on.Checked BaggageYou will want to use your NOOK on the ﬂight, of course, but we have to mention this. Rules are rules. If you travel on an airplane with your NOOK in checked baggage, the Federal Aviation Administration requires that:• Your NOOK is turned o (fully o, not just asleep).• Your NOOK is packed to prevent it from being turned on inadvertently. It should be packed so that nothing can press against the power button. This might take a bit of care. Packing your NOOK with its optional B&N cover on will help.Caring for Your NOOKHere are some recommendations about caring for your NOOK. If you follow them, your NOOK should have a long productive life.

nook User Guide Safety and Care 39Temperature RangesYour NOOK should function as designed in these temperature ranges:Use Fahrenheit CelsiusCharging 41– 95 ºF 5 – 35 ºCOperation 32 – 104 ºF 0 – 40 ºCStorage 5 – 113 ºF -15 – 45 ºCOutside of these ranges, your NOOK might develop power, display, and/or software issues. If temperatures are extremely cold or hot, permanent physical damage can result. Such damage is not covered by the warranty. Storage applies to temporary locations like the trunk of your car (or other motor vehicle) as well as long-term storage.Even on a day that is not very hot, the passenger compartment or trunk of a car can be extremely hot. Do not leave your NOOK in a car.High storage temperatures reduce battery life. For more information, see “Charging Recommendations” on page 22.Water and WeatherYour NOOK has a degree of water resistance, for example, to a misty fog. (We do want San Francisco residents to buy NOOKs.) If your NOOK gets damp, just dry the surface with a clean, dry cloth before you put it away. But don’t let your NOOK get too wet. It is not water proof. If it does get wet, let it dry completely before using it.Reading ScreenYou do not need to touch the reading screen, and should try to not do so. Fingerprints can permanently damage the reading screen if they are not removed. If the screen gets ﬁngerprints, grime, dust, or water on it (or for that matter, red wine, spaghetti sauce, or mustard), you should clean it with a damp soft cloth (for example, a micro-ﬁber cloth). Do not use any chemicals to clean the reading screen.The reading screen has a scratch-resistant coating, but it is possible to scratch the screen, so you should clean it carefully. Keeping the screen clean in the ﬁrst place is a better strategy than cleaning it. You should clean it infrequently, not often.Color TouchscreenThe color touchscreen is meant for touching, but you should also clean it. You might clean it after several days of use, or if you notice the screen needs cleaning. Clean the touchscreen with a damp soft cloth (for example, a micro-ﬁber cloth). Do not use any chemicals to clean the touchscreen.

nook User Guide Operating the Controls 47You will sometimes see a menu item that is gray. This means that you cannot choose that menu item. The choice might not be relevant; for example, you cannot change the font for a PDF ﬁle, so the Text font menu item is gray. This can also indicate that an operation is in progress. For example, when your NOOK is automatically checking for new content in My B&N Library, the Check for new B&N content menu item is gray until it has completed the operation.Navigation on the Reading ScreenSome content on the reading screen is navigable. That is, it has on-the-page navigation. These cases are:• Navigable lists, including ones that span more than one page. Examples include your library and eBooks in the Shop.• Navigable parts of documents, including tables of contents in books, magazines, and newspapers and links from one part of a periodical to another part.When you navigate on the reading screen, where you are is highlighted by a line above and below and a in the left margin:Text content of books, magazines, and newspapers is navigable when creating highlights and notes, and when looking up words.

nook User Guide Wireless Connectivity 56Wireless ConnectivityWhile reading and during most tasks, the radio in your NOOK is not on. It does not need to be, and it would consume power. Even browsing your library, including B&N content in your online digital library, is done on your NOOK. However, some tasks, such as browsing or searching the B&N eBookstore, do require a wireless connection.NOOK ModelsThere are two NOOK models:• A NOOK Wi-Fi can connect to Wi-Fi hotspots only.• A NOOK can connect to Wi-Fi hotspots and the B&N Fast & Free Wireless network (a cellular data network).Most of the time when this guide refers to a NOOK, it means any NOOK (both models). When there is a need to distinguish between a NOOK (meaning any NOOK) and a NOOK (meaning the Wi-Fi + 3G model), we write NOOK Wi-Fi for the former and add “Wi-Fi + 3G model” to the latter.Choosing a ConnectionWhen your NOOK needs a connection, it starts the radio, determines the best network to connect to, and connects. When it no longer needs the connection, it disconnects.Your NOOK uses the best network it can ﬁnd, considering network speed and signal strength. From top priority to lowest priority, the choices are:• In a Barnes & Noble store, your NOOK uses the store’s Wi-Fi hotspot.• When within range of an AT&T hotspot in the United States, your NOOK uses the AT&T hotspot.• If you instruct your NOOK to use other Wi-Fi hotspots (by connecting to detected hotspots or conﬁguring hotspots), it uses one of those when it needs a network connection (if the signal strength is OK).• (Wi-Fi + 3G model NOOKs only) If none of the abovementioned Wi-Fi hotspots are available, your NOOK uses B&N Fast & Free Wireless (a cellular data network). It picks the best B&N Fast & Free Wireless connection based on speed and signal strength.Some operations require a Wi-Fi connection. These include downloads of very large eBooks, periodicals, and magazines; and some software updates.

nook User GuideWireless Connectivity57Wi-FiYour NOOK can connect toKWi-Fi hotspots (places that oer wireless Internet access) that use the802.11b or 802.11g standard.Display menus for managing Wi-Fi hotspots by tapping wi-ﬁ on the Home menu:wwi-ﬁiﬁAlternatively, tap settings on the Home menu, then tapWi-Fi. The menus are the same. Here wewill assume that you tap wi-ﬁ on the Home menu.Connecting to Wi-Fi HotspotsYour NOOK can connect to Wi-Fi hotspots as follows:K•Your NOOK automatically detects and connects to Wi-Fi hotspots in Barnes & NobleKBookstores.•Your NOOK automatically detects and connects to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots in the United States.K•Your NOOK automatically detects Wi-Fi hotspots that broadcast their network name (ServiceKSet Identiﬁer, or SSID). It does not automatically connect to them, but in Settings you canchoose to connect to one of them. After you have chosen to connect to a hotspot, your NOOK connects to it automatically in the future. If you no longer want to connect to a hotspot Kautomatically, you can ask your NOOK to forget the hotspot.K•You can conﬁgure one or more Wi-Fi hotspots, irrespective of whether they broadcast their SSIDs. For example, you can conﬁgure Wi-Fi settings for a home network or the coee shoparound the corner. If you conﬁgure other Wi-Fi hotspots, your NOOK automatically connects toKthem.For a secured hotspot, you must provide the credentials needed to connect—the network name (SSID), security type, and security code.•Your NOOK can use most Wi-Fi hotspots that require acceptance of terms and conditions or Kthat require you to enter additional information for authentication (such as an account number or a room number at a hotel) or payment information. When you attempt to connect to such ahotspot, you are prompted to launch the web browser to supply the required information. After you complete that step, your NOOK connects to the hotspot.K

nook User Guide Wireless Connectivity 58Automatic detection of hotspots requires three things:• Airplane mode is o• Wi-Fi is on• Your NOOK has a sucient battery charge to continue running the Wi-Fi circuitry. When the battery level is very low, your NOOK turns o wireless circuitry.Your NOOK always automatically connects to Wi-Fi hotspots in Barnes & Noble Bookstores and AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots. If your NOOK connects to one of these hotspots and you want to connect to a dierent hotspot, navigate to the other hotspot in the Wi-Fi hotspot menu, choose the hotspot, and tap Connect.For hotspots other than Barnes & Noble Bookstore and AT&T hotspots, your NOOK automatically connects to any detected Wi-Fi hotspot that you have either conﬁgured or previously connected to and not asked your NOOK to forget. It does not automatically connect to other detected hotspots.To connect to a hotspot for the ﬁrst time:1 Tap wi-ﬁ > Wi-Fi hotspot.2 After your NOOK scans for and displays detected hotspots, tap the hotspot in the menu. If no password is needed to connect, your NOOK connects to the hotspot.3 If a password is needed to connect, your NOOK prompts for it. Type the password and then tap Submit. You only need to enter the password for a secure hotspot one time.4 If terms and conditions or similar information is needed to connect, your NOOK displays a message to that eect. Tap Launch Browser. Your NOOK opens the page on which you supply that information in the web browser. Enter the required information and submit it. Your NOOK connects to the hotspot.Turning Wi-Fi On and OThis section applies to the NOOK (Wi-Fi + 3G model). To turn Wi-Fi on and o on a NOOK Wi-Fi, turn Airplane mode on and o. For that procedure, see “Turning Airplane mode On and O” on page 37.If you don’t have a Wi-Fi hotspot to connect to and are not visiting a Barnes & Noble Bookstore, you can turn Wi-Fi o. Doing so will give you longer battery life. Remember to turn Wi-Fi back on when visiting a Barnes & Noble Bookstore. You also might need Wi-Fi for some software updates (or you can obtain them from the www.nook.com/support website).Your NOOK is smart about when it automatically turns Wi-Fi o. For example, it does so when you are reading.

nook User Guide Wireless Connectivity 59To turn Wi-Fi on or o:On the Home menu, tap wi-ﬁ. The current setting is displayed in the Wi-Fi menu. Tap the Wi-Fi submenu to toggle between On and O.Viewing Wi-Fi HotspotsWith Airplane mode o and Wi-Fi on, your NOOK displays a Wi-Fi hotspot menu. When you tap Wi-Fi hotspot, your NOOK scans for hotspots. While it is scanning, the uppermost menu item reads Scanning, please wait....When your NOOK has ﬁnished scanning, it displays a list of Wi-Fi hotspots that are detected (in range and that have sucient signal strength to connect to).At the bottom of the hotspot list, your NOOK displays hotspots that are not in range, but that are remembered. Remembered hotspots include those that have been detected before or conﬁgured, and that have been connected to. If your NOOK is currently connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, that hotspot has the word connected next to it.Hotspots have the following indicator icons next to them:• An icon that gives the Wi-Fi signal strength (from low to high):• If the hotspot is secured, a lock icon is displayed:A string next to the hotspot name describes the status of the hotspot:• connected: Your NOOK is currently connected to this hotspot.• connecting: Your NOOK is in the process of connecting to this hotspot.• remembered: This hotspot has either been detected before and connected to or has been manually conﬁgured. It is in range, but your NOOK is not connected to it.• not in range, remembered: This hotspot has either been detected before and connected to or has been manually conﬁgured, but it is not in range.When Multiple Hotspots are In RangeWhen multiple Wi-Fi hotspots are in range, if you connect to more than one hotspot, your NOOK will preferentially use the last hotspot connected to. If you want to use a dierent hotspot, have your NOOK forget the most recently deﬁned hotspot.For example:1 Your NOOK detects your home hotspot, and you choose to connect to it.

nook User Guide Wireless Connectivity 602 Later, you have issues with your own hotspot, and you choose to connect to a neighbor’s hotspot (after asking politely).3 You ﬁx your hotspot, and want to use it again. To do so, tap wi-ﬁ > Wi-Fi hotspot > neighbor’s hotspot name > Forget. 4 Your NOOK will forget your neighbor’s hotspot (remember to thank him) and automatically connect to your home hotspot.Conﬁguring and Using Wi-Fi HotspotsThis section explains procedures for conﬁguring and using Wi-Fi hotspots.To determine the Wi-Fi connection status and signal strength:If your NOOK is connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, the status bar contains an icon that gives the Wi-Fi signal strength (from low to high):The connection status and signal strength are also shown at the top level of the Wi-Fi application on the reading screen, and in the Wi-Fi hotspot menu.To view the currently connected Wi-Fi hotspot:If your NOOK is connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, the name is displayed at the top level of the Wi-Fi application on the reading screen, next to Wi-Fi hotspot on the Settings summary, and in the Wi-Fi hotspot menu in the Wi-Fi application and in Settings.To connect to a detected Wi-Fi hotspot:Your NOOK automatically connects to AT&T hotspots, including those in Barnes & Noble Bookstores, and to detected Wi-Fi hotspots that you have previously connected to or conﬁgured.For other hotspots, tap wi-ﬁ > Wi-Fi hotspot. After your NOOK scans for and displays detected hotspots, tap the hotspot in the menu and then tap Connect. If no password is needed to connect, your NOOK connects to the hotspot. If a password is needed to connect, your NOOK prompts for it. Type the password and then tap Submit. You only need to enter the password for a secure hotspot one time.

nook User Guide Wireless Connectivity 61To manually add and connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot:To manually add a Wi-Fi hotspot, you must be within range of the hotspot. Your NOOK connects to the hotspot when you add it. If it fails to connect, it does not add the hotspot.You will need the following information:• Network SSID (Service Set Identiﬁer, that is, the network name for the hotspot)• Security (Auto, None, WEP, WPA, or WPA2)• Password: A code needed when connecting to a secured hotspotTap wi-ﬁ > Wi-Fi hotspot > Other hotspot.... In the data-entry form, type the SSID, select the security, and then tap Submit. If a password is needed, your NOOK prompts for it. Enter the password and then tap Submit.To disconnect from and forget a Wi-Fi hotspot:Tap wi-ﬁ > Wi-Fi hotspot. Tap the hotspot, and then tap Forget. This does two things. It disconnects your NOOK from the hotspot, and it removes it from the list of networks to which your NOOK connects automatically.B&N Fast & Free WirelessThis section applies to the NOOK (Wi-Fi + 3G model) only.Your NOOK (Wi-Fi + 3G model) can connect to B&N Fast & Free Wireless networks in the United States. These networks are cellular data networks that are widely available.

It is not subject to automatic deletion.• If it is not visible at the top level in your library, it was delivered by subscription and has not been archived. It is subject to automatic deletion.When you search for a periodical, all issues of the periodical, whether purchased singly or delivered by subscription, are returned in the search (as are other items that match the search criteria).

For example, if you have 10 issues of a weekly magazine, and an 11th is delivered, then the oldest issue is deleted, so that 10 issues are kept.If you have 10 issues of a weekly magazine, and you archive three, then three more issues will be delivered without resulting in deletion of the oldest issue.Issues delivered by subscription that are not archived are deleted automatically whether or not they have been read.

It also explains one case when B&N content is deleted from your NOOK automatically.Manually Deleting B&N Content from Your NOOKYou can delete B&N content from your NOOK by deleting ﬁles from the my B&N downloads folder on the NOOK drive. We do not recommend this approach.If you do delete ﬁles from the my B&N downloads folder:• The items remain in your online digital library.

nook User Guide Library 103• The catalog information remains on your NOOK. The deleted items are shown in black, not gray, in your library.• The items are not deleted from other devices registered to the same account.• To read an item on your NOOK, you must download it. Automatic Deletion of B&N Content from Your NOOKYour NOOK automatically deletes eBooks and saved issues of periodicals if you are close to ﬁlling up the My B&N Library section of the library on your NOOK. It deletes all eBooks and saved periodical issues that you have not read in the last three months.This process is not archiving. The content is not deleted from other devices associated with your account, and the items in the library are in black, not gray.Deleting B&N Content from your Online Digital LibraryWe recommend that you not delete B&N content. Instead, archive it, which removes the content from your NOOK (and other devices associated with your Barnes & Noble.com account) and ﬂags the content as archived in your library.If you delete content from your online digital library, you cannot get it back, even by calling customer service. By deleting the content, you no longer own it, so the only option is to re-purchase it. Think of it in the same terms as throwing away a book. Before deleting content from your online digital library, we recommend that you save a backup copy by copying the item from your NOOK to your personal computer.There is no way to just delete content from your NOOK. To free up space on your NOOK, archive the content, which deletes it from your NOOK, deletes it from other devices associated with the account, and ﬂags the item as archived in your library.If you really do want to delete B&N content, you can do so from your account (the one associated with your NOOK) on the BN.com website.When you delete content from your online digital library using the BN.com website:• It is deleted permanently from your online digital library.• It is deleted permanently from your NOOK and from all other devices associated with the account.If you save a copy of digital content before deleting it, you can copy it from your personal computer to your NOOK using USB.

Your NOOK doesn’t exactly support such documents, but it tries. It does not rotate the text but doesKrotate any graphics.

nook User Guide Reading 108ErgonomicsErgonomics is a big word for the study of how to make things comfortable and easy to use, and to reduce injuries. Your NOOK was designed with you and reading in mind.The best advice we can give is to ﬁnd what is comfortable for you.Reading must be a comfortable activity. With your NOOK, it will be. If one reading position is not comfortable, try a dierent one. Balance your NOOK dierently. Place your hands dierently. Press the Next Page and Previous Page buttons dierently. We are quite sure that some of the ergonomic suggestions that follow will work for you.Holding your NOOKHold your NOOK so it is balanced well and does not feel top-heavy. You can change the balance of your NOOK by moving your hands further up or holding your NOOK in a more vertical position. You probably will want to hold it with both hands. If you hold it with one hand, rest that hand or arm on something, for example, your leg. One way of holding your NOOK is shown in this drawing. The person shown is right-handed, and she is holding her NOOK with the left hand further up the side, for balance, and the right hand closer to the bottom, to easily press the Next Page button on the right side of your NOOK.

nook User Guide Reading 109Next Page and Previous Page ButtonsPosition the hand with which you turn pages so it is not a strain to reach one of the Next Page buttons. You will probably use the Previous Page buttons less frequently, but when you do, position your hands so that reaching a button is not a strain. With page turn buttons on each side of your NOOK, you can change the hand with which you turn pages.KeyboardThere are several ways to use your NOOK’s keyboards:• With your NOOK on a ﬂat surface, you can type on the keyboard is an approximation of standard-keyboard typing (or for that matter “hunt and peck” typing).• You can hold your NOOK in one hand and tap keys on the keyboard with the index ﬁnger of your other hand.• You can use a mobile-device approach to typing by holding the device on each side near the bottom and using your thumbs to type. To do this, you might want to rest the top of your NOOK against your knee or the edge of a table.EyeglassesIf you use eyeglasses to read paper books, you should wear them to read your NOOK.Reading DistanceThe optimal reading distance varies depending on your eyes, but somewhere between 13 and 16 inches is probably ideal. You can change the text size on your NOOK so that you can read at an optimal distance.LightYour NOOK’s reading screen is like a piece of paper. You need light to read it, and the light level should be adequate. Make sure you have enough light, and position your NOOK relative to the lights so that there are no direct reﬂections.Take BreaksAs you would do with paper books when reading, take breaks to reduce eye strain.Beginning ReadingWhen you select an item to read, you are taken to:• The ﬁrst page if you have not read this item before• The most recently read page if you have read this item before

If you choose Light Classic, then your NOOK uses Amasis for content in PDB format.• PDF format: Content is displayed in the font(s) embedded in the PDF ﬁle, or in the font Light Classic if a font is not embedded in the PDF ﬁle. You cannot change the font in which a PDF ﬁle is displayed. For PDF ﬁles, the Font > Text font menu item is gray (not selectable).In all cases, scanned content that has not been processed with character recognition (for example, scans of entire pages or images that contain text) displays whatever text font was scanned.Changes in the text font only aect EPUB and PDB ﬁles in the Reader. They do not change the text font for PDF ﬁles. They do not change the text font in The Daily, Shop, library, or settings. They do not change the text font in the touchscreen menus.To change the Reader text font:1 In the Reader, choose Font > Text font.2 Choose among the text fonts listed in the menu. When you change the Reader text font in a PDB ﬁle, your NOOK repaginates the content. It can take up to several minutes before your NOOK displays the progress bar and page numbers.Reader Text SizesYou have a choice of ﬁve text sizes for all eBooks and periodicals. You can choose the text size Extra small, Small, Medium, Large, or Extra large. Your choice aects the actual text size, but it does so dierently for PDB, EPUB, and PDF ﬁles.

nook User Guide Reading 115PDB FilesText sizes are simplest for PDB ﬁles. The ﬁve sizes are the same from ﬁle to ﬁle. Medium in one eBook is the same as Medium in the next one. The other sizes are the same as well.When you change the Reader text size in a PDB ﬁle, your NOOK repaginates the content. It can take up to several minutes before your NOOK displays the progress bar and page numbers.For PDF ﬁles in some foreign languages, your NOOK is not able to resize the fonts. For these, you will see one size (Small).EPUB FilesEPUB ﬁles can contain instructions that specify the size of body text and other text, for example chapter titles.When displayed, the text of digital content in EPUB, PDB, and reﬂowable PDF documents is in one of ﬁve sizes. For most digital content, medium will be medium will be medium (the same size medium). The other sizes will be the same as well. But there are exceptions to every rule. In some cases, the fonts will be larger than usual, and in other cases smaller. In these cases, you should still be able to choose a text size that works for you.In Settings, the sizes are identiﬁed as Extra small, Small, Medium, Large, and Extra large. Other text in digital content, for example, chapter and section headings, is also sized proportionally based on the choice of Reader text size.Changes in the text size only aect the Reader. They do not change the size of text in The Daily, Shop, library, or settings. They also do not change the size of text in the touchscreen menus.Here are examples of the text sizes Extra small, Medium, and Extra large for the font Amasis.

nook User Guide Reading 116PDF FilesIn PDF ﬁles, the content is scaled to ﬁt the Reader when the text size is Small. When the text size is small, you will see the PDF as it would appear on a larger screen, with layout and graphics preserved.When viewing a PDF ﬁle, try the Small text size ﬁrst. If that is too small, try larger sizes.Larger text sizes (and Extra small, which is probably too small) involve scaling the font and reﬂowing the text. Medium, Large, and Extra large are 2, 3, and 4 times the size of the small text.To change the Reader text size:1 In the Reader, choose Font > Text size.2 Choose a text size: Extra small, Small, Medium, Large, or Extra large.ImagesSome eBooks and most magazines and newspapers contain images. The images that are present are those that were included in the item by the publisher.• For EPUB and PDB ﬁles, your NOOK displays the images, irrespective of the text font size. The images are a ﬁxed size; you cannot zoom in or out.

nook User Guide Reading 117• For PDF ﬁles when the text size is Small, you will see the PDF as it would appear on a larger screen, with layout and images preserved. An attempt is made to display images in other text sizes than Small, but image display is not guaranteed in other text sizes. When images are displayed at other text sizes, they are displayed in the sizes embedded in the PDF ﬁle.Opening DRM-secured Digital ContentSome digital content is protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM). Your NOOK manages encryption information it needs to open digital content that is protected by DRM. Dierent rules apply for the My B&N Library and My Documents sections of your library.My B&N LibraryYour NOOK stores the information it needs to open DRM-secured digital content that you purchase from the Shop on your NOOK or on the BN.com website. Just open an eBook or periodical you have bought, and it opens.If you unregister your NOOK, the information needed to open DRM-secured content is deleted. To open the content on an unregistered NOOK, you will need to enter your ﬁrst name, last name, and default credit card number one time. You enter the ﬁrst name, last name, and default credit card number that were in use when you downloaded the content.If you downloaded the content at times when your Barnes & Noble.com account had dierent default credit cards, you will need to enter each credit card one time. For example, if you downloaded 10 eBooks last year with a credit card ending in 1111, and another 10 eBooks this year with a credit card ending in 2222, then when you open one of the eBooks from last year, you will need to enter the credit card ending in 1111, and when you open one of the eBooks from this year, you will need to enter the credit card ending in 2222. After that, you can open all of the eBooks.Take the same precautions you normally would with your credit card number. My DocumentsFor DRM-secured content in My Documents, including content that you have transferred to your NOOK from your personal computer and that you have copied from My B&N Library, you must enter your ﬁrst name, last name, and default credit card number. Enter the information that is current for your Barnes & Noble.com account. Take the same precautions you normally would with your credit card number.You only need to enter this information the ﬁrst time you open one item of digital content that was purchased with that credit card.

nook User Guide Reading 118Opening Password-Secured PDF FilesWhen you open a PDF ﬁle that is secured with a password, the Reader prompts you for the password. Enter the password, and tap Submit.Reading Status BarWhen you are reading, a reading status bar is displayed instead of the main status bar. It contains:Title Title of what you are readingAirplane mode icon If airplane mode is on, the Airplane mode icon is displayed.Battery charge icon Battery charge level and whether your NOOK is charging. For more information, see “Battery Charge Indicators” on page 18.Current time The current time is displayed in 12-hour or 24-hour format. Tap settings > Display > Clock format to set the clock format, for example: 3:25 PM or 15:25.You might also see the B&N Fast & Free Wireless signal strength or Wi-Fi signal strength icon when you are reading. When you read, your NOOK turns o the radios. If you are reading when your NOOK decides to synchronize your library (in the morning between about 5:15 and 6:00 AM), your NOOK turns on its radios.This is an example:Reading Progress Bar and Page NumbersWhen you are reading, your NOOK displays a reading progress bar at the bottom of the page. This represents your reading progress through the entire book.Two page numbers are displayed to the right of the reading progress bar: the current page number and the total number of pages, separated by a vertical bar.Depending on the size of the eBook, it can take up to about ﬁve minutes before the reading progress bar and page numbers are displayed. During this time, you can read.

nook User Guide Reading 119Page NumberingPages in eBooks and periodicals are numbered. How the pages are numbered and displayed on your NOOK diers based on the ﬁle format of the digital content:• eBooks in PDB format: Page numbering is for the entire eBook and reﬂects the number of pages after formatting for the text size. What page something is on changes as well. For example, when the reader text is Amasis Small, Oliver Twist says “Please, sir, I want some more” on page 26 of 817 pages. When the text is Amasis Medium, he says it on page 30 of 956. When the text is Amasis Large, he says it on page 40 of 1274.• eBooks (and periodicals) in EPUB format: Page numbering is for the entire eBook and reﬂects some prior account of page numbering, before formatting for the text size. This means that, if the original book had 525 pages, then so does the eBook. But the pages are re-ﬂowed, so a page from the book might start in the middle of the page in the eBook. A page in the book also might be smaller or larger than will ﬁt on one page of the eBook. So, looking at the reading status bar when turning pages you might encounter page 45, and the page after that will still be page 45, and maybe the one after that too. And then you will reach page 46. Or, you will turn from page 45 to 47. What happened to page 46? It was on the same page as page 45. When you make the text size larger, the same page in the eBook will ﬂow over more pages in the Reader.• Reﬂowable eBooks in PDF format: Page numbering is for the entire book and reﬂects some prior account of page numbering, before formatting for the text size. The behavior is the same as for eBooks in EPUB format, described above.• Non-reﬂowable (scanned without character recognition) eBooks in PDF format: Page numbering is for the entire book, and reﬂects the number of scanned pages. Page numbers also might be on the scanned pages, but there is no necessary relationship. Page 6 in the eBook might have the scanned page number iv, and page 30 in the eBook might have the scanned page number 5.Finding Words and PhrasesYou can search for occurrences of words and phrases in what you read. You can search in ePub, PDB, and PDF ﬁles. Searches do not consider the case of words. It is best if you do not include punctuation in the phrases.Find and Find next search from the current location in the digital content toward the end. If you are on page 25 and search of a phrase that happens to be on page 23, the search will not ﬁnd it. You can search backwards with Find previous, but only if one occurrence is found searching forward. If you want to be certain that you are searching the entire content, go to the cover and begin the search there.

nook User Guide Reading 120To ﬁnd occurrences of a word or phrase:1 Open what you want to read in the Reader.2 Go to the page on which you want to begin the search, which proceeds from there toward the end of the content. To be sure you search all of the content, tap Go to > Cover.3 Tap Find.4 Type the word or phrase, and then tap Search.5 If one occurrence of the word or phrase is found, you can choose Find next and Find previous to ﬁnd later and earlier occurrences.Looking up WordsYou can look up words while reading.

You cannot look up words in periodicals in My B&N Library. You cannot look up words in PDF ﬁles.You can look up words, not phrases. However, the dictionary does deﬁne some phrases. For example, if you look up “carry,” the phrases “carry a torch,” “carry the ball,” and “carry the day” are also deﬁned.To look up a word in the text:1 In the digital reading content, navigate to the page on which the word occurs.2 Tap Look up word.3 Select the word you want to look up using the D-pad controller. Pressing the up, down, right, and left arrows on the D-pad controller moves the selection from word to word.When navigating in an EPUB ﬁle, the up and down arrows on the D-pad controller sometimes skip lines (for example, the last line in a paragraph if that line contains only one word).

For example, you might want to highlight a word, sentence, or paragraph. The highlight is displayed as a light gray color background around the words. The highlight includes the words, but not the terminal punctuation. You can show and hide highlights.• A highlight can also serve as an anchor in the text for a note. A note is text that you can optionally associate with a highlight. The text says what it says, but you might have something to say about it.• A highlight with or without a note is indicated by this always-on marker in the left margin, at the beginning of the line where the highlight starts:• You cannot enter a note without a highlight. You can use a one-word highlight.When you add or edit a highlight, a D-pad controller appears. The up and down arrows move the current position (indicated by a word highlight) to the prior or next line. The left and right arrows move the current position to the prior or next word.A highlight cannot span pages (in the sense of what is displayed each time you press a Page turn button). The maximum length of a highlight is aected by the amount of text that ﬁts on the page. You can highlight a longer passage with text size Small than Large because more text ﬁts on a page. If you change the text size, it is possible that existing notes would span page boundaries. If this happens, the notes are truncated at the end of the page for the current text size. Choosing the text size used when the highlight was created displays the entire highlight.Procedures for Highlights and NotesWhen navigating in an EPUB ﬁle, the up and down arrows on the D-pad controller sometimes skip lines (for example, the last line in a paragraph if that line contains only one word).

It re-appeared in Dell Magazines in 1979. It is from Japan that we get the name Sudoku. (Informationparaphrased from Wikipedia)On the Home menu, tap games > sudoku to play Sudoku:sudokuThe goal of Sudoku is to ﬁll a 9x9 grid so that each column, row, and 3x3 region contains thenumbers from 1 to 9. Each game starts with a partially completed grid. Following is an example of apuzzle with only the given numbers and the same puzzle completed:

nook User Guide Games 137Diculty LevelsAll Sudoku puzzles have one solution that can be obtained by logic, without guessing. But they dier in diculty based on the number of givens and the diculty of the logic required to solve the puzzles.When you start a game, you choose a diculty level: Easy, Medium, Hard, or Extreme.Starting and Resuming GamesIf no game is in progress when you start Sudoku, you start a new game. Tap the diculty level (Easy, Medium, Hard, or Extreme) to begin the game.If a game is in progress when you exit Sudoku by tapping the Back button or NOOK button, the in-progress game is saved. When you play Sudoku again, the saved game resumes.To abandon a game and start a new one, tap the Back button and then choose a diculty level for the new game.What You Can Enter in a SquareYou can enter these numbers in each square:• Values: Values are what you want to enter to solve the puzzle. If you have a 3x3 square that already contains the numbers 1-9, except for 7, you would enter the value 7. Values are indicated in a font that looks like it was written by hand.• Notes: Notes are your notes about possible values. They appear as smaller, hand-written numbers.

nook User Guide Games 138• Hints: Hints are additional given values (that is, they are correct values). If you cannot ﬁgure out the value to put in a square, or have gotten conﬂicting values, you could enter a hint. Entering ValuesPlaying Sudoku entails entering a value in each empty square.To enter a value in a square:1 Study the Sudoku grid on the reading screen and decide on a value to enter in a speciﬁc square.2 Scroll the Sudoku board on the touchscreen so that the square is visible.3 Tap the square.4 If Notes mode is active (the Notes button is blue), tap Notes.5 Tap the value you want to enter. One of two things happens:A black value appears on the touchscreen, and the value appears on the reading screen. In this case, the value you chose does not conﬂict with any other values already on the board. It is not, however, necessarily the correct value to solve the puzzle.A red value appears on the touchscreen, and the value appears on the reading screen. In this case, there is some conﬂict between the value you entered and a value already on the board. For example, you might have entered a 7 in a square, failing to observe that there is already a 7 further down in the same column,Entering NotesBefore entering values in squares, you might want to enter notes. Notes let you consider multiple possibilities. At some stage in the game, you might determine that a square can contain a 4 or 7. You can enter those as notes. Later, when it becomes clear that the square must contain a 4, you can replace the notes with the value 4.When you enter notes, no notes or values are ﬂagged with red to indicate conﬂicts.You can use the following procedure to enter notes in an empty square, a square that already contains notes, and a square that contains a value.To enter notes or change the notes in a square:1 Decide on notes to enter in a speciﬁc square.2 Scroll the Sudoku board on the touchscreen so that the square is visible.3 Tap the square.4 If the square already contains a value, tap Clear.

If you tap a number and change your mind, tap the number again.7 Tap the Back button to continue playing.Entering HintsHints are additional givens that you might want to enter if you cannot ﬁgure out values for some of the squares.To enter a hint in a square:1 Study the Sudoku grid on the reading screen and decide to enter a hint in a speciﬁc square.2 Scroll the Sudoku board on the touchscreen so that the square is visible.3 Tap the square.4 Tap Hint. A given appears in the square. If values in other squares conﬂict with the new given, they are displayed in red.

If you are listening to the audio player, that stops too.Connecting your NOOK to your ComputerConnect your NOOK to your personal computer with the provided USB cable, as shown.USB CableComputer / USBWhen you connect your NOOK to a personal computer using USB, it enters USB drive mode and charges. If you want to charge your NOOK and use it (as opposed to using USB drive mode), eject/unmount the NOOK drive (and the drive for a supplemental microSD card if present), but leave your NOOK plugged into the USB port on your computer.To connect your NOOK to your personal computer using USB:1 If your NOOK is o, power it on. If it is asleep, you do not need to wake it.

nook User Guide USB Connectivity 1512 Using the USB cable, connect your NOOK to a USB port on your computer. Your NOOK enters USB drive mode, and displays a screen that indicates how to use the device while it is connected to USB.3 When your NOOK has connected to USB, your personal computer should detect it:• On a PC running Microsoft Windows, you are presented with a choice that includes Open folder to view ﬁles. Choose that.• On a Mac, an icon labeled NOOK appears on your desktop.• On a computer running Linux, an icon labeled NOOK appears on the desktop and a ﬁle manager window appears.Disconnecting your NOOK from your ComputerDo not simply pull the USB cable out to disconnect your NOOK from your computer. It is important that you eject/unmount the NOOK drive, and a drive for a supplemental microSD card if present.When you eject/unmount your NOOK drive from USB (and a supplemental microSD card drive if present), your NOOK scans for changes in content, and displays an up-to-date list in My Documents.To disconnect your NOOK from your personal computer:1 Ensure that no USB operations are still in progress.2 Use the procedure that is appropriate for your computer to eject or unmount the NOOK USB drive, and the drive for the supplemental microSD card if present:On a PC running Microsoft Windows, click Start > Computer, right-click the NOOK drive and choose Eject. If you have a supplemental microSD card, also eject that drive. Choosing Safely Remove from the right-click menu or Safely Remove Hardware from the taskbar does not work. You must eject the drives.On a Mac, Ctrl-Click the icon for each drive and choose Eject.On a computer running Linux, right-click the icon for each drive and choose Unmount.At this point, you can use your NOOK for reading. We recommend that you do not shop or download content while USB charging.3 Unplug the USB cable from your computer and your NOOK.

nook User Guide USB Connectivity 152If you don’t eject the drive, you might interrupt an operation that is still in progress. This can result in ﬁles that are corrupted or not copied. It can also leave your NOOK in a state where it is temporarily not able to connect to USB. If this happens, turn o your NOOK completely and turn it on again. One Drive or TwoAll NOOKs have internal memory, which is presented as a USB drive when you connect to USB. The drive has the name NOOK.If you insert a supplemental microSD card in your NOOK, your NOOK will have two USB drives. The second one is for the supplemental card.If you put personal ﬁles in the correct locations in the internal memory and on a supplemental microSD card, then the content will be found. If you put personal ﬁles anywhere else, they will be on your NOOK, but your NOOK will not ﬁnd them. For more information, see “Where You Can Put Files” on page 151.Note the following key points between these drives:• The NOOK drive (for your NOOK’s internal memory) has predeﬁned top-level folders that you must retain and use.• Your NOOK will not ﬁnd folders or ﬁles placed outside of the predeﬁned folder hierarchy on the NOOK drive.• Your NOOK places B&N content in the folder my B&N downloads. You cannot place content there.• Screensaver and wallpaper images must be placed in the correct folders on the NOOK drive. Images placed on the drive for the supplemental microSD card are not available for screensavers or wallpapers.• You can place digital content (eBooks, magazines, and newspapers in EPUB, PDB, and PDF formats), music (MP3 and OGG ﬁles), and audiobooks (MP3 and OGG ﬁles) on either drive.Content you place on the drive for the internal memory competes for space with your NOOK’s library of B&N content. Your NOOK automatically archives content in the My B&N Library section of your library if it is running short of space in its internal memory. If you have a supplemental microSD card, we suggest that you put your personal digital content and music ﬁles on the supplemental microSD card.

nook User Guide USB Connectivity 153Protection from Viruses and Other MalwareIt is unlikely that your NOOK could become infected by a virus or other malware. Your NOOK does not host applications; this reduces the likelihood of malware infection. The ﬁle types supported by your NOOK are also unlikely to harbor malware, although some of them can. Your nook does have an Internet browser, which could be a source of infection.It is possible to transfer ﬁles containing malware to and from your NOOK using USB, just as it is possible to transfer ﬁles that are not infected. In some cases, infected computers can transfer infections to USB drives automatically.We recommend that any computer to which you connect your NOOK is scanned routinely with up-to-date antivirus/anti-malware software, and that you scan ﬁles before transferring them to your NOOK.You can also scan the NOOK drive and a drive for a supplemental microSD card if present, when your NOOK is connected to USB.

nook User Guide Files and Folders 154Files and FoldersWhen your NOOK is connected to your personal computer through USB, you can manage ﬁles and folders on your NOOK.You can manage personal content on the internal ﬂash memory and on the supplemental microSD or microSDHC card, if there is one. You also have some ability to manage B&N content.Use the ﬁle manager on your personal computer to manage ﬁles and folder. For more information about this procedure, see “Managing Files” on page 155.Files you transfer to your NOOK could harbor viruses or other malware. For information about protecting your NOOK, see “Protection from Viruses and Other Malware” on page 150.Where You Can Put FilesYour NOOK uses some top-level folders in internal memory to locate speciﬁc kinds of content. You must put speciﬁc kinds of ﬁles in speciﬁc folders, so your NOOK will ﬁnd them.You can put ﬁles in these places on your NOOK:• Digital reading content (EPUB, PDB, and PDF formats): Place these ﬁles in the my documents folder in your NOOK’s internal memory, or in any top-level folders that you create in the internal memory or on a supplemental microsSD card. Optionally, you can organize the ﬁles using subfolders.• Audio ﬁles (MP3 and OGG formats): Place these ﬁles in the my music and my audiobooks folders in your NOOK’s internal memory, or in any top-level folders that you create in the internal memory or on a supplemental microsSD card. Optionally, you can organize the ﬁles using subfolders.• Screensaver ﬁles (JPG, GIF, PNG, and BMP formats): You must place these ﬁles in top-level sub-folders of the folder my screensavers in your NOOK’s internal memory. For example, in the following organization, only the dogs screensaver ﬁles can be used:rabbit.jpg my screensavers antelope.bmp dogs schnauzer.png poodle.gif cats longhair

nook User Guide Files and Folders 155 Persian.jpg Balinese.jpg• Wallpaper ﬁles (JPG, GIF, PNG, and BMP formats): You must place these ﬁles in the folder my wallpapers in your NOOK’s internal memory, not in subfolders.• Other ﬁles: You can put other ﬁles on your NOOK, but your NOOK will not be able to use them. You can only access them through USB. If you do put other ﬁles on your NOOK, we recommend that you place them in top-level folders that you create, and ideally on a supplemental microSD card, so that they do not reduce the space available for the My B&N Library section of your library.If you use subfolders to organize your digital reading and audio content, when your NOOK presents the ﬁles to you, it ﬂattens the hierarchy and presents a single list.There are several places that you should not place ﬁles:• my B&N downloads: Digital content that you purchased and downloaded from Barnes & Noble.com or from your NOOK (in EPUB and PDB formats). The contents of this folder are displayed in the My B&N Library section of your library. Do not organize these ﬁles into subfolders.You can copy ﬁles from the my B&N downloads folder, but if you place ﬁles in that folder, your NOOK deletes them.• If you authorize your NOOK for use with Adobe Digital Editions, you will also see the folders .adobe-digital-editions and Digital Editions. These folders do not contain digital content. Do not place ﬁles in these folders.Do not delete the predeﬁned directories.USB Access and microSD Card AccessYour NOOK is designed for USB access to your ﬁles and folders in the internal memory and on a supplemental microSD card if present. You can also access the ﬁles and folders on a supplemental microSD card using a suitable card reader (not supplied with your NOOK). If you do use a card reader, turn o your NOOK fully before removing the microSD card.Managing FilesTransfer personal ﬁles to your NOOK, copying them to the appropriate folders. If you decide you no longer want speciﬁc ﬁles on your NOOK, delete them (but keep a copy on your personal computer).

nook User Guide Files and Folders 156Use the ﬁle manager on your personal computer to manage personal ﬁles on your NOOK.If you put personal ﬁles in the correct locations in the internal memory, then the content will be found. If you put personal ﬁles anywhere else, they will be on your NOOK, but your NOOK will not ﬁnd them. For more information, see “One Drive or Two” on page 149 and “Where You Can Put Files” on page 154.To manage personal ﬁles and folders on your NOOK:1 Connect your NOOK to your personal computer using USB, as explained in “Connecting your NOOK to your Computer” on page 147.2 Using a ﬁle manager, manage the ﬁles and folders. Copy ﬁles from your computer to your NOOK, or from your NOOK to your computer, or move or delete ﬁles, or manage folders, in the same manner as you would manage ﬁles on your computer.3 When you have ﬁnished managing ﬁles, eject your NOOK.To copy ﬁles to a new microSD card:1 Use a ﬁle explorer to copy or move ﬁles from the old microSD card to your personal computer.2 Insert the new microSD card in your NOOK. For this procedure, see “Changing microSD Cards” on page 160.3 Copy or move the ﬁles to the new microSD card in your NOOK. Copying is a better idea than moving, because you have backup copies.4 After you have veriﬁed that the copy operation succeeded, you could delete unneeded ﬁles.Keep a Copy of Your Personal FilesElectronic storage media sometimes fail to preserve your ﬁles. They encounter magnetic ﬁelds that are too feisty, get dropped from boats into lakes, and get stolen. It is a good idea to keep copies of the personal ﬁles on your NOOK on your computer.Regarding your B&N content in the My B&N Library part of your library, if you lose copies on your NOOK, you can retrieve them from your online digital library. You can also back them up yourself on your personal computer. If you copy them back to your NOOK, place them in the my documents folder or on a supplemental microSD card. They will appear in the My Documents section of your library.

nook User Guide Files and Folders 157Adding StorageIf you want to increase the storage capacity of your NOOK, you can purchase and insert a microSDTM or microSDHCTM card. microSD and microSDHC cards have the following logos:Supplemental microSD and microSDHC cards will hold about 1000 eBooks per gigabyte. The amount of space for eBooks is aected by how much space you devote to other ﬁles, such as music and audiobooks.Supported CardsFollowing are the speciﬁcations of supported cards:• A microSD or microSDHC card with a storage capacity of up to 16 GB. For simplicity’s sake, we refer to these both as microSD cards below.• Class 2, 4, and 6 microSD cards are supported. Class 6 is faster than class 4, which is faster than class 2. The class should be mentioned on the packaging for the microSD card and printed on the card itself. If no speed is indicated, the card is a class 2 card. The speed of the card does not aect page display speeds. It can aect read and write speeds when transferring eBooks and personal ﬁles to and from the SD card.• The microSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 or FAT16 ﬁle system.Inserting a microSD CardThis section explains how to insert a microSD card in your NOOK.To insert a microSD card:1 Press the power button for about 5 seconds, until your NOOK turns o. Your NOOK must be fully o, not just asleep, to insert a microSD card.2 Remove the back cover.

nook User Guide Policies 178(a) By Us. If we have a reasonable basis to believe that you have violated any term or condition of this Agreement or may cause us, our suppliers or licensors, or another user of the Service ﬁnancial loss or legal liability, we may, in our sole discretion, upon notice to you, issue a warning, temporarily suspend, indeﬁnitely suspend or terminate any of your rights to use or access all or any part of the Service. (b) By You. You may terminate your use of the Service at any time by ceasing all use of the Service and deregistering your NOOK by following the process provided for on the Web Site. (c) Eect of Termination. Following termination or suspension, you will not be permitted to use the Service, though termination/suspension of your right to use the Service will not aect your right to view Digital Content that you have already lawfully acquired and downloaded to your NOOK. If your access to the Service is terminated or suspended, we reserve the right to exercise whatever means we deem necessary to prevent unauthorized access to the Service, including, but not limited to, technological barriers, IP mapping and our direct contacts with telecommunications companies. This Agreement will survive indeﬁnitely unless and until we choose to terminate it, regardless of whether any account you open is terminated by you or us or if you have the right to access or use the Service. You are responsible for payment of all outstanding balances accrued up to and through the termination date. All amounts paid to us are non-refundable, unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the One-Year Limited Warranty, or the Terms of Use.12. Notice. You hereby consent to receive electronic communications from us, whether addressed to the email address associated with your Barnes & Noble.com account or other email address that you provide to us, or sent directly to your NOOK. You acknowledge and agree that any communication via email, message to your device or by postings on the Web Site satisﬁes any legal requirement that such communications be made in writing. You may give notice to us via email to the following address: Nook@barnesandnoble.com. If you have general questions regarding your NOOK, you may also call 1-800-THE-BOOK or 1-201-438-1834, though such a call will not suce for notice under this paragraph. Notice will be eective upon our sending or receipt of it, as applicable. 13. Changes to Service; Amendment. We may, in our sole discretion, change, modify, suspend, make improvements to or discontinue any aspect of the Service, temporarily or permanently, at any time without notice to you, and we will not be liable for doing so. 14. Assignment. This Agreement and all of your rights and obligations under it may not be assignable or transferable by you without our prior written consent. You may, however, sell, give away, or otherwise transfer your NOOK; provided, however, that the person to whom you transfer your NOOK must register your NOOK in their name. You will be responsible for all use of your NOOK until that NOOK is registered in their name. Similarly, if you lend your NOOK to another person or another person otherwise uses your NOOK, you will be responsible for that person’s use of your NOOK. We may freely assign or transfer this Agreement or any of our rights and obligations under it. 15. Additional Terms. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between you and us regarding the use of your NOOK and the Service, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between you and us regarding this subject matter. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement

nook User Guide Policies 179is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any applicable jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner aecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in that or any other jurisdiction. Our aliates, suppliers and licensors are intended third-party beneﬁciaries of Sections 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and Attachment 1 of this Agreement. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. This Agreement is binding upon each party and its successors and permitted assigns. ATTACHMENT 1THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE TERMS1.

nook User Guide Policies 181Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.PreambleThe licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) oer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modiﬁed by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reﬂect on the original authors’ reputations.Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in eect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modiﬁcation follow.GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSETERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

nook User Guide Policies 1820. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modiﬁcations and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modiﬁcation”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.Activities other than copying, distribution and modiﬁcation are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option oer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modiﬁcations or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:a) You must cause the modiﬁed ﬁles to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the ﬁles and the date of any change.b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.c) If the modiﬁed program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)These requirements apply to the modiﬁed work as a whole. If identiﬁable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,

nook User Guide Policies 183whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written oer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the oer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an oer, in accord with Subsection b above.)The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modiﬁcations to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface deﬁnition ﬁles, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.If distribution of executable or object code is made by oering access to copy from a designated place, then oering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

nook User Guide Policies 1845. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may dier in detail to address new problems or concerns.

nook User Guide Policies 185Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program speciﬁes a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are dierent, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.NO WARRANTY11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONSHow to Apply These Terms to Your New ProgramsIf you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source ﬁle to most eectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each ﬁle should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.<one line to give the program’s name and a brief idea of what it does.>

Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w’ and `show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary.
