We recommend that you turn your NOOK on before plugging it into USB. If you plug your NOOK
into USB when it is o, your personal computer might have trouble recognizing your
NOOK while it
is starting. Your computer should recognize your
NOOK after your NOOK has completed its startup.
The first time you connect your NOOK to a personal computer, your NOOK should be
on. The computer will install USB drivers for your NOOK, and display a message that this
operation is in progress. It will also display a message when it completes installing drivers.
