The account also allows you to synchronize your NOOK with any other NOOK devices you have, such as other NOOK tablets or eReaders, and with NOOK software apps, such as NOOK

for iOS, NOOK® for Android™, or

NOOK

for Web.

If you don’t have a Barnes & Noble account, you can set one up in a few minutes on the NOOK Web site. Just open a browser on your computer, and visit http://MyNOOK.com. You’ll also have the opportunity to set up an account during the registration process for your NOOK.

Your Barnes & Noble account is ready for use once you have set up the following:

Barnes & Noble NOOK User Guide 17

Charging Recommendations

Your NOOK contains a rechargeable battery. To maximize battery life:

• Avoid fully discharging the battery. Charge your NOOK after several hours of use or when you see the low

charge alert, rather than continuing to use it until it turns itself o.

• Avoid high temperatures for charging, use, and storage. For more information, see “Temperature Ranges.”

• Charge the battery half way before storing your NOOK for a week or more.

Safety and Care

This section explains important information about safety and about caring for your NOOK.

18 Barnes & Noble NOOK User Guide

Electronic Equipment

If you are around sensitive electronic equipment–for example, if you are in a hospital–ask if you may use your NOOK. Settings such as intensive care units might forbid the use of any electronic device, with or without networking turned on.

Battery

Your NOOK includes a non-replaceable, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to replace the battery. If you suspect your battery is having problems, please contact Customer Service at

1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).

Caring for Your NOOK

To take the best possible care of your NOOK, please follow the recommendations below.

Temperature Ranges

Your NOOK should function as designed in these temperature ranges:

• Operation: 0 C to 35 C, 32 F to 95 F

• Storage: -25 C to 60 C, -13 F to 140 F

Outside 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 limited 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”.

Caring for the Touchscreen

You should clean the touchscreen on your NOOK from time to time. Clean the screen with a damp soft cloth, such as a micro-ﬁber cloth. Micro-ﬁber cloths are available from Barnes & Noble stores and from partner retailers. Do not use any chemicals to clean the screen.

B&N and Designer Covers

You can purchase an optional B&N or designer cover for your NOOK at your local Barnes & Noble Bookstore, at partner retailers, and online at BN.com. The cover helps protect your NOOK from daily wear and tear. It keeps dust from accumulating on the screen, reducing the need to clean it. The cover also provides some protection against spills.

Limited Warranty Coverage and the B&N Protection Plan

Your NOOK is backed by a one-year manufacturer’s limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For a copy of this limited warranty, see “One Year Limited Warranty”. The limited warranty is also available at:

NOOK.com/warranty

In the event of any changes to the limited warranty, the version in eect on the Web site as of the date of purchase shall apply.

You can extend your NOOK’s coverage by purchasing a two-year B&N Protection Plan to help safeguard NOOK against spills, drops, and other accidents. The B&N Protection Plan can only be purchased together with a NOOK.

Information about the B&N Protection Plan can be found on the Web page listed above.

NOTE: To ensure the highest quality of reading, your NOOK has an anti-glare ﬁlm already installed. Please

don’t use any additional screen protector as it will damage the device. To protect your NOOK’s screen from accidental damage, we recommend using a NOOK cover. Your limited warranty does not cover damage to your NOOK’s screen resulting from use of an additional screen protector.

Using the LendMe Program

Lending and Borrowing Books

With Barnes & Noble’s LendMe technology, you can share lendable NOOK Books with any NOOK Friend or any friend who has a Barnes & Noble account with a valid credit card number. Your NOOK Friend or friend can read the book on any NOOK tablet or NOOK eReader or on any NOOK application such as NOOK

for iOS, NOOK® for

Android™, NOOK

for Windows® 8, or NOOK® for Web.

You may lend each of your lendable books once. You cannot read a book while it is on loan or while a lending oer is pending, but you always get the book back once it has been returned or when 14 days have passed.

All LendMe functionality is consolidated online at MyNOOK.com. Visit MyNOOK.com to lend and borrow eligible NOOK Books easily, as well as to accept LendMe oers from friends. You can read and enjoy LendMe-eligible NOOK Books on your NOOK devices and through the Free NOOK Reading Apps registered to your NOOK account. For more information, visit MyNOOK.com.

Guidelines for Lending and Borrowing Books

Here are details about lending and borrowing books.

• You can lend only LendMe-eligible NOOK Books that are in your NOOK Library. Your NOOK Library holds all the NOOK Books that you have purchased. Many NOOK Books are eligible for lending, though not all are.

• You can send a lending oer to any email address, but to accept the oer, the other person must have an email address associated with a Barnes & Noble online account, a valid credit card number associated with the online account, and a NOOK device or a NOOK Reading App that supports lending. An account holder’s credit card is not charged when he or she borrows a book from you.

• You can lend, borrow, or accept a lend oer only online at MyNOOK.com.

• You can only lend a book one time. It only counts as the one-time lending if your friend accepts the lending oer. If the lending oer expires or your friend rejects the oer, the book returns to your Library and remains eligible for lending.

• When you oer to lend a book, the oer lasts for up to 7 days. The oer ends when your friend accepts the offer or when 7 days have passed.

• Once you have oered to lend the book, you cannot retract your oer.

• A loan is for 14 calendar days, counting the day on which the lending oer is accepted. A lent book is automatically returned at the beginning of the 15th calendar day (if the borrower has not returned it more quickly).

• When you lend a book, you temporarily lend the digital rights to the book. During the period when the lending oer is pending and while the book is lent, you cannot read it. When the book is returned, you get the digital rights back, and can read the book again.

• You cannot lend a book that has been lent to you.

• You cannot save a copy of a lent book to the microSD card.

• You cannot archive a book that has been lent to you.

• LendMe badges are present when you are browsing and searching for books in the NOOK Store on the BN.com website. When you navigate to the details page for a book by clicking on the title, the badge is located below the cover image if that book title can be lent.

• LendMe badges are present in your library on MyNOOK.com. If you can lend a book, a LendMe badge is present below the date added. Click the badge to lend the book.

If you have lent a book, it appears in the list of books you have lent and a “Lent” badge appears on its cover. If you double-tap on the book to open its details page, you’ll see the name of the friend to whom you lent the book.

Conﬁguring Proﬁles

A NOOK Proﬁle tailors content and shopping experiences on your NOOK for an individual user. Your NOOK supports up to six NOOK proﬁles, enabling dierent people to use your NOOK in dierent ways.

All the purchases made on your NOOK through any proﬁle are processed through the NOOK or BN.com account to which your NOOK is registered.

Types of Proﬁles

Your NOOK supports three types of NOOK Proﬁles:

• Primary Proﬁle: This is the proﬁle created by default when you register your NOOK. This proﬁle can view

all the content on the device an. It can also create and edit proﬁles for other users and manage those proﬁles’ access to content. All purchases made on the NOOK are processed using the payment method associated with this proﬁle.

• Adult Proﬁle: An adult proﬁle can purchase any type of content. An adult proﬁle can also control which con-

tent is visible to itself and which content is visible to any child proﬁle. It can also set parental controls for child proﬁles. It cannot control which content is visible to the primary proﬁle.

• Child Proﬁle: By default, a child proﬁle can only view and purchase content authorized by the primary proﬁle

or through parental controls conﬁgured by an adult proﬁle. A child proﬁle does not have the ability to create or edit other proﬁles. It cannot override parental controls.

Setting Up an Adult Proﬁle

Your NOOK will recognize any new proﬁles you create, along with any proﬁles you created in your Barnes & Noble or NOOK account on a NOOK HD, NOOK HD+, or other NOOK Device.

To set up an adult proﬁle, do this:

1. On the main Settings screen, tap the Proﬁle menu choice. Your NOOK displays the Proﬁle settings screen.

2. Tap the plus sign (+) in the upper right corner of the screen. Your NOOK displays a form for creating a new proﬁle.

3. Type a ﬁrst name for the account.

4. If you want to automatically add all the NOOK content in the primary proﬁle’s account to this proﬁle, tap the checkbox labeled Add all NOOK shop content in this account to this new proﬁle’s library.

5. Tap NEXT in the upper right corner of the screen. Your NOOK creates the proﬁle.

NOTE: If you chose not to automatically add all the NOOK content in the primary proﬁle’s account to this

proﬁle’s library, you will need to add content to the library, item by item. See the instructions below on managing content.

Setting up a Child Proﬁle

To set up a child proﬁle, do this:

1. On the main Settings screen, tap the Proﬁle menu choice. Your NOOK displays the Proﬁle settings screen.

86 Barnes & Noble NOOK User Guide

2. Tap the plus sign (+) in the upper right corner of the screen. Your NOOK displays a form for creating a new proﬁle.

3. Type a ﬁrst name for the account.

4. Tap the checkbox for a Child Proﬁle. Your NOOK opens a form for specifying the age of the child.

5. Tap the Age ﬁeld. A dialog box opens, allowing you to specify the month and year in which your child was born. This information helps your NOOK ﬁnd age-appropriate content for your child.

9. To continue creating a child proﬁle, tap Continue at the bottom of the screen. Your NOOK displays a screen for specifying the parental controls for this proﬁle.

Barnes & Noble NOOK User Guide 87

The parental controls are shown here:

10. Adjust the controls as you like.

11. Tap Done. Your NOOK creates the child proﬁle with the permissions you speciﬁed. If you have not speciﬁed a four-digit passcode or PIN to protect the privacy of your NOOK, you will be asked to do so after you create your ﬁrst child proﬁle. Assigning a passcode prevents a child from accessing content in any adult proﬁle, including the primary proﬁle.

Overview of Parental Controls

Simple-to-use parental controls help create a “kid-safe” experience on your NOOK. Using parental controls, you can limit the types of content that child proﬁles can view and purchase. You set up parental controls when you create a child proﬁle. You can adjust them later if you like by editing the child proﬁle.

Using parental controls, you can control whether or not a speciﬁc child proﬁle can:

• Browse the NOOK Shop

• Purchase from NOOK Shop only when using your NOOK account password

• Shop only for kids’ content in the NOOK Shop

• View Sideloaded Files in NOOK Library

88 Barnes & Noble NOOK User Guide

• Access Reads for kids

Sideloaded ﬁles are any EPUB ﬁles or PDFs you transfer to your NOOK from your personal computer, using the micro-USB cable included with your NOOK.

Switching Between Proﬁles

To switch between proﬁles, do this:

1. On the main Settings page, tap Proﬁle. The Proﬁle settings screen lists all the proﬁles available on your NOOK.

2. Tap the round button by the name of the proﬁle you want to swtich to.

NOTE: If a child proﬁle is switching to an adult proﬁle and that adult proﬁle has been conﬁgured with a pass-

code, you will be prompted to enter the main proﬁle passcode.

3. If you are prompted to enter the main proﬁle passcode

Managing Content for a Proﬁle

Sharing Content

The same content can be shared by multiple proﬁles. Each proﬁle will 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 will 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 touch 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.

Assigning 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.

Using Your NOOK at Wi-Fi Hotspots

In addition to connecting to your Wi-Fi network in your home or oce, you can use your NOOK to connect to public Wi-Fi hot spots in stores, restaurants, hotels, cafes, airports, and many other locations.

This section summarizes how your NOOK works with various types of Wi-Fi hotspots.

Wi-Fi Networks in Barnes & Noble Stores

Your NOOK will automatically detect a Wi-Fi network in a Barnes & Noble store and ask if you want to connect to it. In-store Wi-Fi connections for NOOK devices are free and include exclusive features such as Read In Store and More In Store. For more information, see “Using Your NOOK in a Barnes & Noble Store”.

AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspots

Your NOOK will also automatically detect any AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot and ask if you want to connect to it. Access to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots in the U.S. is free for NOOK GlowLight Plus devices.

Unsecured Wi-Fi Networks

Your NOOK will detect unsecured Wi-Fi networks close by. An unsecured Wi-Fi network does not require users to enter a password in order to establish a connection. You can simply select the network and connect to it.

Secured Wi-Fi Networks

Your NOOK will also detect secured Wi-Fi networks. A secured Wi-Fi network requires users to enter a password before they can connect to the network.

There are several dierent security protocols available for securing networks. Your NOOK recognizes and supports the most popular Wi-Fi security protocols, including:

• WEP

• WPA/WPA2 PSK

• 802.1x EAP

To connect to a secured Wi-Fi network, select it from a list of networks and enter its password when prompted.

NOTE: If you do not know the password for the network, ask the network administrator for help.

NOTE: If your NOOK will display dialog boxes that let you select a network and enter a password.

Proxied Wi-Fi Networks

Proxied Wi-Fi networks typically present a Web page with terms and conditions, a login screen, and possibly a payment screen, before allowing you to connect to the network. You’ll encounter this type of network in many hotels, restaurants, and airports. Your NOOK detects these networks.

When selecting a proxied network as a connection, your NOOK usually opens a dialog box in which you can read and accept terms and conditions, perhaps enter credit card information and login credentials, and connect. However, this behavior may vary from network to network.

Barnes & Noble NOOK User Guide 95

Updating the Software on Your NOOK

From time to time Barnes & Noble will release software updates for your NOOK. Your NOOK will automatically install these updates.

NOTE: Updating software does not delete any of your books, magazines, or newspapers, nor does it delete any

of the ﬁles you have transferred onto your NOOK from your personal computer. The software update simply installs new NOOK software to give you the latest features available from Barnes & Noble. Your NOOK remains registered to your Barnes & Noble account, and all your reading material remains accessible.

Installing a Software Update over a Wireless Network

When a new software update is available, your NOOK will download it and install it sometime over the course of a couple of weeks after Barnes & Noble releases the update, and while your registered NOOK device is idle and connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot. There is nothing else that you need to do to receive these automatic software updates.

Software installations take only a few minutes. Updating your software doesn’t aect the contents of your Library or the titles listed in your Keep Reading list. Once the software installation is complete, you can continue reading or shopping or doing whatever else you were doing before the new software was installed.

You check for the availability of a new release by tapping the Check for System Update button on the Software settings screen, which is described below.

Discovering the Version Number of Your NOOK Software

To discover which software release your NOOK is running, do this:

1. Tap Settings in the NOOK Navigation menu to open the main Settings screen.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Software. Your NOOK opens the Software settings screen, which lists the version number of the software release your NOOK is running.

Checking for the Availability of a New Software Update

NOTE: You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network to check for a new software update and to install that up-

date on your NOOK.

1. Open the Software settings screen, as described above.

2. Tap the Check for System Update button. Your NOOK checks for the availability of a new software update. If one is available, it begins downloading the update. Your NOOK automatically installs the update after your device next goes to sleep.

The screen is acting as though I’m tapping on it, even though I am not.

If your screen is dirty, it might detect touches when none are occurring. This problem can occur on any touchscreen device. Turn o your NOOK, and wipe the screen clean with a soft, dry cloth. Pay particular attention to clear out or gently blow out any dust or dirt from the small lip around the edges of the display. Then turn your NOOK back on.

Appendix A: Page Numbering and File Formats

When you read a book or periodical on your NOOK, you’re reading the same words that appear in the paper edition of the book or periodical. In most books, the page number that appears at the bottom of the screen is the page number you would see if you were reading the printed version of the same book.

Because printed pages can be larger than the screen of your NOOK, and because many printed books use type that is smaller than would be pleasant to read on an eReader, your NOOK may enlarge the type on a page and spread a physical page of text across two or more digital pages.

Because digital pages might be smaller than the physical pages of a book, you might turn the page a few times on your NOOK and still see the same physical page number in the upper right hand corner. For example, you might ﬁnd three screenfuls of text in your book all labeled page 47.

The relation between digital pages and physical pages can vary, because your NOOK gives you a great deal of freedom in choosing the size of fonts, the amount of spacing between lines, and other factors that aect how text ﬂows onto a page.

In most books, you’ll always know which physical page you’re on from the number in the upper right. So if you’re discussing a book in a book club, everyone can refer to page 295 and be talking about the same page, even if you’ve conﬁgured your NOOK to use small type and single-spacing and everyone else in the group is using large type and double-spacing.

Page Numbering and File Formats

There are several dierent formats for eBooks, and these dierent formats treat page numbers dierently. Barnes & Noble eBooks are published in the EPUB format, but you can load other types of documents, such as PDFs, onto your NOOK.

Here’s a quick summary of what you need to know about ﬁle formats and page numbering:

• eBooks and Periodicals in EPUB format

EPUB is the standard format for books in the Barnes & Noble online store. The EPUB format numbers all pages in a book sequentially, based on some prior account of page numbering, such as the page numbering used in the print edition. If the print edition of the book had 525 pages, so will the eBook. But the pages are re-ﬂowed in the eBook edition to make them easier to view on a screen. As a result, a page from the print edition might be larger or smaller than a page in the eBook.

In many cases, a page from the print edition will span two or more pages on an eReader, as described above.

• Reﬂowable eBooks in PDF Format In reﬂowable eBooks formatted in PDF, page numbering is for the entire book and reﬂects some prior account of page numbering, before formatting for the eBook text size. The behavior is the same as for eBooks in EPUB format, which is described above.

• Non-reﬂowable 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.
