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.
