Registering Your NOOK
NOTE: You will need to connect to a Wi-Fi network to complete your registration.
1. Read the Welcome screen. Tap the
Let’s Get Started button. Your NOOK displays its Terms of Service.
2. Select your Time Zone by tapping its button. Tap Next.
3. Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
To register your NOOK and to purchase and download books and periodicals, you need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network.
If you’re in a Barnes & Noble store, your NOOK will automatically connect to the store’s free Wi-Fi network. If you’re in
some other location with Wi-Fi access, your NOOK will list all the networks it finds. Tap the name of the network you want
to connect to. If you see a lock symbol beside the network’s name, it’s a secure network. You’ll need to enter a password
to connect to the network. If you do not know the network password, ask for the network administrator for help. If you have
problems connecting, visit NOOK.com/support for more troubleshooting tips.
4. Once you have connected to a network, tap Next (if you are in a Barnes & Noble store and connected to its network)
or
Continue (if you are connected to any other Wi-Fi network.)
Your NOOK displays a message saying it is registering your device. When the registration has completed, your NOOK
displays a Sign In screen with an email field, a password field, and a keyboard at the bottom of the screen.
5. Sign in to your BN.com account.
When you register your NOOK, you link it to your Barnes & Noble account and give it access all the books and periodicals in
your Barnes & Noble library. You also make it possible to shop for new books and periodicals on your NOOK.
Note that by signing in, you agree to the Device Terms, Store Terms, and Privacy Policy for your NOOK. Links to these terms
appear at the bottom of the screen.
If you already have a Barnes & Noble account, do this:
a. On the
Sign In screen, enter the email address and password for your Barnes & Noble account.
(As a security precaution, if you enter your password incorrectly five times, you will be locked out of your BN.com
account for half an hour. If you like, you can reset your account by visiting BN.com.)
b. Tap the Sign In button below the password field.
c. When a dialog box appears, saying “Registration successful,” tap the
OK button.
If you do not already have a Barnes & Noble account, do this:
a. Tap the
Create Account button.
Your NOOK displays a form for creating a Barnes & Noble account.
b. Enter the information requested, including your name, password, credit card type, number, and expiration date,
and a security question.
c. Tap
Submit.
Your NOOK creates your Barnes & Noble account and registers your NOOK to your account.
NOTE: If you turned GlowLight on, it now automatically turns o.
6. Tap the
Next button.
A new screen tells you that you’re ready to get started exploring the features of your NOOK.
7. Tap the NOOK button (without holding it down) to display the Home screen and begin exploring your NOOK.
That’s it. You’ve registered your NOOK. You’re ready to read books, magazines, and newspapers, and to make purchases
in the NOOK Shop.
