Shopping on Your NOOK
Introduction
NOTE: To access the Shop on your NOOK, you must be connected to a Wi-Fi network. If you are not con-
nected to a network but you are in an area with Wi-Fi access, your NOOK will guide you through the
process of connecting to a network.
To begin shopping, tap on the Shop icon in the Quick Nav Bar. The Shop page displays recommendations from our
booksellers. You can scroll left and right through these recommendations. To learn more about any book or periodi-
cal, double-tap on its cover. To purchase an item, tap on the button displaying the item’s price.
Whenever you tap on a price to buy an item, your NOOK replaces the price button with a button labeled Confirm.
Tap this button to confirm that you want to buy the item.
When you buy an item in the Shop, Barnes & Noble charges the credit card associated with your Barnes and Noble
account.
When shopping, you can always return to the Shop store front by tapping on the Shop icon in the upper left corner
of the screen.
Browsing Lists and Categories
To browse lists and categories of books and periodicals, tap the Browse button in the lower left of the Shop screen.
The Shop displays a menu showing lists, such as BN Top 100, and categories such as books, magazines, and newspa-
pers.
Searching for Titles, Authors, or Topics
To search for a book or periodical, tap the search field at the bottom of the screen. When a keyboard appears, type
the title, author’s name, or topic you’re looking for, then tap the Search button.
When the Shop search engine displays its results, tap on the item you’re interested in to see more details about it.
If the search engine finds more entries than will fit on the screen, scroll through the search engine results by dragging
your finger up or down.
Buying a Book
Once you’re in the Shop, you can buy any book you see that has a green button displaying the book’s price. (If you
don’t see a green button with a price next to a particular book, it’s because you’ve already purchased the book. A
gray label reading Purchased appears where the price button used to be.)
To buy a book, do this:
1. To buy a book, tap on the green button displaying a price next to the book’s cover or title.
The Shop replaces the price button with a button labeled Confirm.
2. Tap the Confirm button.
What happens next depends on how you’ve customized your Shop. If you’re using the default set-up, your
NOOK begins downloading the book once you tap Confirm. If you’ve set up your Shop to require that your B&N
Account password be entered every time anyone makes a purchase on your NOOK, a dialog box opens. Tap in
the Password field and enter the password for your B&N Account. Tap OK.
