NOOK NOOK VideoM
NOOK Video™ is a streaming and download service
that allows you to rent movies and purchase movies
and TV shows for viewing on your NOOK. NOOK
Video offers a wide variety of popular movies and TV
shows.
NOOK Video supports both streaming and
downloading content. When you purchase or rent
a movie, you need to select how you will access
it: streaming or downloading. Unlike books and
periodicals, videos do not download automatically
when purchased.
Streaming means that the content is delivered over
an active Wi-Fi connection. You must be connected
to a Wi-Fi Internet connection to watch streamed
content. Streaming videos does not require any
storage on your NOOK.
Note: When streaming content, it’s best to have to a
strong Wi-Fi connection.
Download Videos
Downloading means that you transfer the NOOK
Video content over a Wi-Fi connection to your
NOOK just as you download other content like
books and magazines. Once you have downloaded
a NOOK Video, you can watch it any time regardless
of whether or not your NOOK is connected to Wi-Fi
(though rented content must be watched within the
rental period, as described below). Unlike streamed
videos, downloaded videos do consume storage on
your NOOK.
If you plan to download many videos, you should
consider purchasing a microSD card to give your
NOOK extra storage.
To configure your NOOK to download video content
to an SD card, rather than to internal storage:
1. From a Home screen, tap Apps >
NOOKSettings.
2. Tap Video.
3. Tap Video Download Location to enable.
Note: Downloading videos may take some time.
The speed of the download will depend on the
length of the video and the bandwidth of your Wi-Fi
network. If you are planning to download a movie to
watch it offline (for example, in a location without a
Wi-Fi network, such as in a car or on a plane), we
recommend that you connect your NOOK to a power
source and begin downloading the movie as soon as
you have purchased or rented it.

Manage Content for a Profile
Share Content
The same content can be shared by multiple
profiles. Each profile may need to download
the content independently to access it.
For example, if the Primary Profile owns a particular
NOOK Book and grants another profile access to
it, the book may appear in the other profile’s
Library with a download icon, indicating that the
book is available for download. To read the book,
the other profile simply has to tap its cover to
download it to the profile’s storage area on your
NOOK.
Annotations, such as notes and highlights, are
specific to a profile. If one profile makes notes and
highlights in a book, they will not be visible to other
profiles reading the same book.
Similarly, if two profiles own the same book,
their reading positions in the book are tracked
independently. If one profile reads to page 17 and
the other profile reads to page 25, each profile
will be taken to his or her most recently read page
when the book is reopened. The first profile will be
returned to page 17; the second profile to page 25.
Assign Content to Other Profiles
The primary profile can assign content to adult
profiles and child profiles. An adult profile can
assign content to child profiles.
