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 pur-chases 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 content 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 pa-rental 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.
