Updating the Software on Your NOOK
From time to time, Barnes & Noble will release software updates for your
NOOK. Your NOOK will automatically install these updates.
NOTE: Updating software does not delete any of your books, magazines, or
newspapers, nor does it delete any of the files you have transferred onto
your NOOK from your personal computer. The software update simply
installs new NOOK software to give you the latest features available from
Barnes & Noble. Your NOOK remains registered to your Barnes & Noble
account, and all your reading material remains accessible.
Installing a Software Update over a Wireless Network
When a new software update is available, your NOOK will download it and
install it sometime over the course of a couple of weeks after Barnes &
Noble releases the update, and while your registered NOOK device is idle
and connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot. There is nothing else that you need to do
to receive these automatic software updates.
Software installations take only a few minutes. Updating your software
doesn’t affect the contents of your Library or the titles listed in your Keep
Reading list. Once the software installation is complete, you can continue
reading or shopping or doing whatever else you were doing before the new
software was installed.
You check for the availability of a new release by tapping the Check for
System Update button on the Software settings screen, which is described
below.
