Getting Started with Your NOOK
The first time you use your NOOK Color, you’ll need to go through a short set-up process that will take about 5
to 10 minutes. Make sure that you’re in an area that has a Wi-Fi connection (a wireless connection to the Internet),
because part of the process is registering your NOOK with your Barnes & Noble account on BN.com.
NOTE: You will not be able to set up your NOOK without a Wi-Fi connection.
In the set-up process, you will do the following:
• Turn on your NOOK.
• Watch a quick video that introduces you to the main features of your NOOK Color.
• Accept the Terms of Service for the NOOK.
• Set the time zone for your NOOK.
• Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
• Register your NOOK Color to a Barnes & Noble account.
NOTE: If you don’t already have a Barnes & Noble account, you’ll have an opportunity to create one during the
registration step.
Your Barnes & Noble Account
A Barnes & Noble account allows you to purchase and download books, magazines, and newspapers on your NOOK
Color, and from the Barnes & Noble Web site.
The account also allows you to synchronize your NOOK Color with any other NOOK eReaders you have, such as
NOOK eReader software applications installed on your tablet (for example, an iPad® or an iPod touch®), PC, or
smartphone (for example, an iPhone® or an Android phone).
If you don’t have a Barnes & Noble account, you can set one up in a few minutes on the NOOK Color Web site. Just
open a browser on your computer, and visit the page: www.nookcolor.com/setup. You’ll also have the opportunity
to set up an account during the registration process for your NOOK Color.
Your Barnes & Noble account is ready for use once you have set up the following:
• An email address
• The number of a credit card issued by a U.S.-based bank
• A valid expiration date for the credit card
• A current U.S. billing address
If you have any questions about setting up an account, please call Customer Service at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-
843-2665).

tion with Wi-Fi access, your NOOK Color will list all the networks it finds. Tap on 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 http://www.nookcolor.com/wifi for
more troubleshooting tips. Once you have connected to a network, tap .Continue with Setup
5. Register your NOOK Color.
When you register your NOOK Color, you link it to your Barnes & Noble account and give it access to all

Power and Charging
Turning Your NOOK On and O
NOTE: If you have set up a passcode to protect your NOOK, you will have to enter the passcode after you
turn on your NOOK. See “Using a Device Lock Passcode to Protect Your NOOK”.
Turning On Your NOOK
To turn on your NOOK, press the power button located on the left edge of your NOOK. Hold the button down for
5 seconds and release it.
Your NOOK starts. When it has completed its start-up process, it makes a chiming sound.
Turning O Your NOOK
You do not need to turn your NOOK o when you stop using it. With a fully charged battery and with Wi-Fi turned
on, your NOOK has enough power to last in a suspended “sleeping” state for many days. With a fully charged bat-
tery and with Wi-Fi turned o, your NOOK has enough power to last in a suspended state for several weeks.
On the other hand, if you are carrying your NOOK without a cover in a bag or purse, you might want to turn o
your NOOK to avoid it being accidentally turned on from its “sleeping” state. You also might want to turn o your
NOOK simply to conserve power.
To turn o your NOOK, do this:
1. Press the power button and hold it down for 5 seconds.
A window appears, asking if you really want to turn your NOOK completely o.
2. Tap the Power o button in the dialog box.
Your NOOK turns o.
NOTE: If you ignore the window asking you to confirm that you want to power o your NOOK, after several
seconds the window disappears and your NOOK resumes whatever it was doing before you pressed
the power button.
Wall Charging
To charge your NOOK, use the charging components included with your NOOK. The diagram below shows these
components and how they connect.
CAUTION: Only use the Barnes & Noble power adapter and custom microUSB cable supplied with your
NOOK. Other power adapters might damage your NOOK and its battery. Do not use a power
adapter and cable intended for other models of NOOK eReader.
NOTE: Using your NOOK’s microUSB cable, you can connect your NOOK to your personal computer to
transfer files. However, connecting your NOOK to your personal computer may not fully charge
your NOOK. To charge your NOOK, you must plug it into a wall outlet.
To charge your NOOK from a wall outlet, do this:
1. Assemble the power adapter and microUSB cable. Insert the large end of the USB cable into the matching recep-
tacle on the power adapter.
2. Plug the NOOK end of the USB cable into your NOOK.
3. Plug the power adapter into a compatible electrical outlet. If your NOOK was turned o, it will now turn itself
on.
NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take around 3-4 hours to fully recharge
your NOOK. Do not turn o your NOOK while it is charging.
NOTE: Once your NOOK has enough power to turn on, you can see how much power remains in the battery
by checking the battery charge indicator in the right corner of the Status Bar. You may need to drag the
green NOOK symbol to the right across your screen to unlock your NOOK and display the Status Bar,
which runs along the bottom of the screen.
4. Once your NOOK has fully charged, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet. Unplug the USB cable
from your NOOK.

Resetting Your NOOK
Performing a Soft Reset
If for some reason your NOOK becomes unresponsive, you can perform a soft reset to restart the device.
1. Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds, then release the power button.
2. Press the power button again for 2 seconds to turn on your NOOK.
Low Power
If you turn on your NOOK when its battery charge is almost depleted, a warning appears on the screen, suggesting
that you begin charging your NOOK before trying to use it.
If the battery is depleted, your NOOK will shut down until it has been suciently recharged.
Charging Recommendations
Your NOOK contains a lithium ion battery. To maximize battery life:
• Avoid fully discharging the battery. Charge your NOOK after several hours of use or when you see the low
charge alert, rather than continuing to use it until it turns itself o.
• Avoid high temperatures for charging, use, and storage. For more information, see “Temperature Ranges.”
• Charge the battery half way before storing your NOOK for a week or more.
• If you are not going to use your NOOK for more than 30 days, charge the battery to 40%-50% and then turn o
your NOOK.
Safety and Care
This section explains important information about safety and about caring for your NOOK.
Water
CAUTION: Your NOOK, cables, and adapters are not waterproof. To avoid risk of overheating, melting, and burns,
keep the device and all accessories away from water and other liquids.
Do not use the cable if either end of the cable gets wet or is exposed to liquid spray. Allow the
end(s) of the cable to dry thoroughly before trying to use the cable. Do not expose your NOOK
to wet or damp conditions. Avoid exposing the device to liquid or food. If liquid is spilled on the
device, make sure to unplug the charging cable and allow the device to dry thoroughly before
reusing. Do NOT attempt to dry out your NOOK with an external heat source such as a dryer or
microwave oven. Clean the screen of your NOOK with a soft cloth and avoid using liquid cleaners
on the screen.
Electricity
Your NOOK is an electrical device. Follow the same basic safety procedures you would follow with any electrical
device.
When charging your NOOK, use only the custom USB cable and power adapter included with your NOOK.
Airplanes
When using your NOOK on an airplane, be sure to follow the instructions of the flight crew.
To turn your NOOK’s wireless networking on or o, do this:
1. Tap on the right end of the Status Bar to open the Quick Settings dialog box.
2. Slide the Wireless switch on or o.
3. Tap anywhere outside the Quick Settings dialog box to close it.
Electronic Equipment
If you are around sensitive electronic equipment–for example, if you are in a hospital–ask if you may use your
NOOK. You probably can if you turn o Wi-Fi networking. Settings such as intensive care units might forbid the use
of any electronic device, with or without networking.
Battery
Your NOOK includes a non-replaceable battery. Do not attempt to replace the battery. If you suspect lithium ion
your battery is having problems, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).
Caution About High Audio Volume
WARNING: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may aect your hearing. The
louder the volume, the faster your hearing may be aected. To protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you. If you experience hearing
discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or
mued speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones
and have your hearing checked.
Caring for Your NOOK
To take the best possible care of your NOOK, please follow the recommendations below.
Temperature Ranges
Your NOOK should function as designed in these temperature ranges:
Outside of these ranges, your NOOK might develop power, display, and/or software issues. If temperatures are
extremely cold or hot, permanent physical damage can result. Such damage is not covered by the warranty. Storage
applies to temporary locations like the trunk of your car (or other motor vehicle) as well as long-term storage.
Even on a day that is not very hot, the passenger compartment or trunk of a car can be extremely hot. Do not leave
your NOOK in a car.
High storage temperatures reduce battery life. For more information, see “Charging Recommendations”.
Caring for the Touchscreen
You should clean the touchscreen on your NOOK from time to time. Clean the screen with a damp soft cloth, such
as a micro-fiber cloth. Micro-fibre cloths are available from Barnes & Noble stores and from partner retailers. Do not
use any chemicals to clean the screen.
B&N and Designer Covers
You can purchase an optional B&N or designer cover for your NOOK at your local Barnes & Noble Bookstore, at
partner retailers, and online at BN.com. The cover helps protect your NOOK from daily wear and tear. It keeps dust
from accumulating on the screen, reducing the need to clean it. The cover also provides some protection against
spills.
Warranty Coverage and the B&N Protection Plan
Your NOOK is backed by a one-year manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For a

You can extend your NOOK’s coverage by purchasing a two-year B&N Protection Plan to help safeguard NOOK
against spills, drops, and other accidents. The B&N Protection Plan can only be purchased together with a NOOK,
not later.
Information about the B&N Protection Plan can be found on the Web page listed above.
Locking and Unlocking Your NOOK
When your NOOK has been idle, your NOOK goes to “sleep.” Your NOOK darkens its screen to conserve power.
It also locks the screen so that accidental touches do not perform actions.
To wake up your NOOK, do this:
1. Press the NOOK button (the raised NOOK symbol on the lower front panel of your NOOK).
2. Unlock your NOOK.
• If you have set up a four-digit passcode to lock your NOOK, enter the passcode. Your NOOK displays
the last screen you were viewing.
• If you have not set up a four-digit passcode, the screen displays a white NOOK symbol in a green circle
near the lower left corner of the screen. Press on the green circle and drag it to the right. Your NOOK
unlocks and displays the last screen you were viewing.
Drag the green circle with the NOOK logo to the right to unlock your NOOK.
Using Gestures to Control Your NOOK
Your NOOK puts great reading material right at your fingertips. To read that material, to share it, to rate it, and so
on, you’ll use your fingers in dierent ways.
Your NOOK recognizes these dierent gestures:
• Tap
• Double tap
• Press and hold
• Swipe
• Scroll
• Drag
• Lift
• Pinch
Tap
A tap on the screen is a quick touch of your fingertip. It’s the same gesture you use when you tap a key on a com-
puter keyboard.
Tapping on an icon in the Quick Nav Bar.
Double Tap
Tapping twice quickly on the screen is a useful short-cut with many features.
Double-tapping on the Home Screen cleans up the screen and arranges all the book and periodical covers in a grid.
In the Library or the Shop, double-tapping on the cover of a book or periodical opens a window with details about
the item.
Press and Hold
Pressing and holding means touching your finger to the screen and holding it there for 2 seconds.
In many situations, pressing and holding causes your NOOK to open a pop-up menu. The pop-up menu—sometimes
called a contextual menu—oers you choices about the image your finger is resting on.
For example, if you press and hold on a book cover, your NOOK opens a menu oering you choices of things you
can do with that book: open the book, recommend it, lend it, and so on.
Pressing and holding on a word in a book and then lifting your finger opens the Text Selection Toolbar.
NOTE: On smartphones, the “press and hold” gesture is sometimes called a “long press.”
Swipe
To swipe is to slide your finger across the screen as though you were brushing away a cake crumb. You can swipe
left, as though you were swiping the crumb away to the left. Or you can swipe right, as though you were swiping the
crumb away to the right.
You’ll typically swipe to scroll through a long list or collection things, such a row of book covers on the Daily Shelf.
Swiping to scroll left and right.
If you swipe left on the Status Bar, your NOOK goes back to your previous activity. The Status Bar is a narrow black
bar that displays icons at the bottom of your NOOK screen.
Scroll
Slide your finger up or down the screen to scroll through any list displaying a scrollbar. A scroll gesture is like a verti-
cal swipe.
You can scroll up and down through shelves of books and periodicals.
Drag
To drag is to touch an object and pull it to another location, while keeping your fingertip touching the screen. Once
you have moved the object to where you want it to be, lift your finger, leaving the object in its new location.
Dragging a book from the Daily Shelf.
Lift
Lifting is raising your finger from the screen at the completion of a gesture such as dragging.
Pinch to Zoom
You can use two fingers to shrink or enlarge a book cover or a photo.
Pinch your fingers together to shrink an image and zoom out. Pull your fingers apart to enlarge an image and zoom in.
Pulling your fingers apart this way is sometimes called “pinching out.”
Pinching to zoom in or out.
The Quick Nav Bar
Tapping the NOOK button on the lower front panel of your NOOK displays the Quick Nav Bar, if it is not already
visible. The Quick Nav Bar displays icons that lead you to major features of your NOOK.
The Quick Nav Bar looks like this:
The Quick Nav Bar.
If you don’t see the Quick Nav Bar, tap the NOOK button, and the Quick Nav Bar will appear.
The Quick Nav Bar shows seven navigation buttons:
• Home - Displays the Home screen, which holds the Daily Shelf along with any books or periodicals you have
copied to Home for easy access.
• Library - Holds all the books, magazines, and newspapers available for reading on your NOOK.
• Shop - Connects you to the Barnes & Noble NOOK Store for convenient shopping right on your NOOK.

purchased from the NOOK Store.
• Web - Opens a Web browser on your NOOK.
• Settings - Oers you configuration settings for every aspect of your NOOK–from screen brightness to Wi-Fi
network settings.
NOTE: If the Web button in the Quick Nav Bar appears grayed out is tagged with a banner reading “Disabled,”
the Web browser on your NOOK has been disabled. For more information, see “Disabling and Re-
enabling Your Web Browser”.
The Status Bar
A Status Bar runs along the very bottom of the NOOK display. The Status Bar looks like this:
The Status Bar
The Left Side of the Status Bar
The left side of the Status Bar presents:
• A green NOOK symbol that appears when new software updates have been installed
• An icon of two people that appears when the NOOK Friends™ application has received an update, such
as contacts that have just been imported
• An open book icon that returns you to the book, magazine, or newspaper you were most recently reading
• An icon with the letter P for returning to the Pandora music player if you’re playing Pandora in the background
• An icon of red musical notes for returning to the Music Player if you’re playing music files in the background
• An icon with an envelope and an @ sign, indicating that you have received new email
• An icon of downward pointing arrows indicating that books, periodicals, or apps are downloading
• A red circle with a number in it that identifies the number of notifications you have received for LendMe, recom-
mendations, software updates, and more
The Right Side of the Status Bar
The right side of the status bar presents:
• A wireless connection indicator
• A battery charge indicator
• A digital clock showing the current time
The wireless connection indicator displays a stack of concentric curves, indicating the strength of your NOOK’s
connection to a local Wi-Fi network. The higher the stack of curves, the stronger the connection. In general, it’s best
to have at least 2 or 3 curves showing to have a reliable connection. If no curves are shown, the NOOK is not con-
nected to a network.
By default, the NOOK status bar displays time on a 12-hour clock. To change the time or to switch to a 24-hour
clock, set the 24-hour clock option on the Time Settings screen.
The Status Bar may also display other icons, as well.
A mute symbol will appear on the right half of the status bar if you have muted the sound on your NOOK. Use the
Quick Settings window or the Settings controls to mute or unmute the sound, as well as to adjust the volume of the
audio on your NOOK.
The Quick Settings Dialog Box
If you tap on the right corner of the Status Bar (where the battery status indicator is), your NOOK opens the Quick
Settings dialog box, which looks like this:
The Quick Settings Dialog Box
The Quick Settings dialog box displays today’s date followed by five convenient controls for your NOOK.
You can jump from the Quick Settings dialog box to the main Settings screen on your NOOK by tapping the gear icon
in the upper right corner of the dialog box.
You can close the Quick Setting dialog box by tapping anywhere outside it.
Date
The dialog box displays today’s date.
Battery
The dialog box shows a horizontal line indicating how much battery power remains in your NOOK. If your NOOK is
plugged into a wall outlet, the word “Charging” appears beneath the colored line. If you’re using your NOOK while
it’s not plugged in, the word “Discharging” appears instead.
Wi-Fi
Slide the toggle switch to turn Wi-Fi on or o. When your NOOK is connected to a network, the Wi-Fi setting Wi-Fi
shows the name of the network.
Mute
Tap the checkbox to mute or unmute all sounds on your NOOK, including sounds from system notifications, Mute
music, and videos. By default, your NOOK is unmuted.
Auto-rotate screen
By default, when you are using the Web browser or reading certain magazines, your NOOK switches orientation
automatically when rotated. That is, if you turn your NOOK so that its left edge becomes the bottom edge of the
screen, your NOOK switches to “landscape mode.” Tap the checkbox to turn this rotation feature on or Orientation
o.
NOTE: Kids Picture Books always open in “landscape mode.”

Swiping Left on the Status Bar
If you swipe left across the Status Bar, your NOOK goes back to the feature or function you were previously using.
The Home Screen and the Daily Shelf
The Home Screen is the default display on your NOOK. You can return to the Home Screen at any time by pressing
the NOOK button on the front of your NOOK twice quickly.
NOTE: If you’re playing a game, reading a Kids Picture Book, or doing some other activity that fills the entire
screen, you’ll need to press the NOOK button twice to return to the Home Screen. In a game, pressing
the NOOK button the first time opens a dialog box asking if you want to exit the game. In other full-
screen activities, pressing the NOOK button acts like a “Back” button, taking you back to the previous
activity. Pressing the button twice quickly returns you to the Home screen.
The Home Screen consists of two main areas: three panels of open space (left, right, and center) that fill the upper
portion of the screen, and the Daily Shelf running along the bottom of the screen.
The Home Screen with books arranged on the Daily Shelf.
Home Screen Panels and the Panel Indicator
The top portion of the Home Screen consists of three panels of open space you can use for keeping books, maga-
zines, newspapers, and apps close at hand.
Only one Home Screen panel is visible at a time.
Barnes & Noble NOOK Color User Guide 29
You can tell which panel you’re viewing by looking at the panel indicator at the top of the screen. The panel indica-
tor is a row of three little circles, each representing a Home Screen panel. One dot will be solid white, and that dot’s
position indicates which of the three panels you’re currently viewing: left, center, or right.
Swipe your nger left or right across the screen to move from one panel to another.
On the left panel of the Home Screen, you’ll notice that the leftmost circle in the panel indicator is lled in solid white,
indicating that you’re viewing the left panel.
On the right panel, the rightmost circle in the panel indicator is solid white.
Notice that the Home Screen and the Daily Shelf scroll independently of each other. Notice also that the Keep Read-
ing pull-down menu, located in the upper right corner, is visible on all three panels of the Home Screen.
The Keep Reading Menu and the More Menu
In the upper left corner of the Home Screen, you’ll see the words Keep Reading followed by the name of the book
or periodical you were most recently reading. If you haven’t read any books or periodicals yet, Keep Reading will be
followed by None.
To see a longer list of your recent reads, open the Keep Reading menu by tapping the word in the upper right More
corner of the screen. This menu oers you easy access to the books, periodicals, and les you have read most re-
cently. The menu lists:
• Titles and authors of the three most recent books you have read.
• Titles and publication dates of the three most recent periodicals you have read.
• Titles and le types of the three most recent les you have opened in the My Files folder.
If you haven’t read any content in one of these categories, that category will not appear in the menu. For example, if
you haven’t read any newspapers, yet, the More menu will omit its newspapers section.
Once the menu is open, tapping on a title in the menu opens that book, periodical, or le you selected.
Optionally, you can close the menu without making a selection by tapping on the up arrow at the bottom of the list
of items.
Wallpaper
The background of the Home Screen is a wallpaper image. The same wallpaper appears on all three panels.
Your NOOK includes several wallpaper patterns you can choose from to customize the appearance of the Home
Screen. You can also upload images and photos to your NOOK and select one of your own images or photos to use
as the Home Screen’s wallpaper.
You can change the wallpaper from the Home Screen, as described below, or from the Settings screen. If you select
an image from your NOOK Photo Gallery, you have the option of cropping the image for use as wallpaper.
Changing the Wallpaper from the Home Screen
To change the Home Screen wallpaper from the Home Screen, do this:
1. On the Home Screen, press and hold on the wallpaper.
A pop-up menu appears.
2. Tap on the menu choice Change wallpaper.
Your NOOK displays a dialog box with two tabs. Each tab oers you a collection of images to choose from. The
tabs are:
• Wallpapers - a collection of wallpapers included on your NOOK
• Photo Gallery - a collection of photos stored on your NOOK, including any photos you have trans-
ferred to your NOOK from your personal computer
• Live Wallpapers - a collection of animated wallpapers that appears if you have purchased one or
more animated wallpapers for your NOOK
3. If you want to switch from one tab to the other, tap on the name of the tab you want to display. In each tabbed
display, you can slide your finger up or down to scroll vertically through the images available for selection.
4. Tap on the choice you want. (To leave the wallpaper unchanged, tap anywhere outside the dialog box. The dialog
box will close, and the wallpaper image will not change.)
5. If you selected an image from the Photo Gallery, your NOOK displays a cropped version of the image. Drag the
crop marks to frame the portion of the photo you want to display. Tap the button in the lower left corner Save
of the screen to save the cropped photo as the wallpaper for the Home Screen.
When you have finished selecting wallpaper, your NOOK returns you to the Home Screen. If you have selected a
new image for the wallpaper, that image now appears in the background of the Home Screen.
The Daily Shelf
The Daily Shelf is a row of books, magazines, newspapers, and apps that runs along the bottom of the Home Screen.
The Daily Shelf holds items that you have recently opened or received.
By default, the following actions cause an item to appear at the left of the Daily Shelf:
• Buying a book, magazine, newspaper, or app.
• Downloading a free book.
• Lending or borrowing a book.
• Receiving a LendMe oer from a friend.
• Receiving a recommendation for a book or periodical from a friend.
• Automatically receiving a new issue of any magazine or newspaper for which you have a subscription.
• Using a menu choice in the Library to move an item to the Home Screen and then dragging it from the Home
Screen onto the Daily Shelf.
• Opening an app, such as Email or an app you have purchased from the NOOK Store.
New books, magazines, newspapers, and apps are marked with a flag that says “New.”
You can control which types of items appear on your Daily Shelf items by configuring the Home settings screen,
which you can access through the Settings icon in the Quick Nav Bar.
The Daily Shelf runs left to right in chronological order. Newest items appear at the left. Swipe your finger across the
Shelf to scroll left and right through its contents.
The Daily Shelf holds up to 50 items. Once the Daily Shelf is full, it can still accept new items, but it will automatically
remove the oldest item to make room for the newest.
NOTE: All the items on the Daily Shelf also appear in your Library. Removing an item from the Daily Shelf does
not remove it from your NOOK, because the item is still aWvailable in your Library.
NOTE: By default, the Daily Shelf holds only one issue of any magazine or newspaper, and a magazine or news-
paper cover on the Daily Shelf always opens the most recent issue. You can configure how many issues
of a magazine or newspaper appear on the Daily Shelf by opening the Settings screen, tapping the Home
menu choice, and selecting the magazine and newspaper settings you want.
You can rearrange the items on the Daily Shelf. To move an item on the Shelf, place your finger on it and drag the
item up about an inch, then left or right and down into its new position. When you drag the item down, other items
on the Daily Shelf slide apart to make room for the item you have moved. When you lift your finger, the moved item
snaps into its new position in the Daily Shelf.
Moving Items from the Daily Shelf to the Home Screen
If you have many items in your Daily Shelf, you may find it convenient to pull out a few and slide them onto the Home
Screen. Items placed on a panel of the Home Screen remain visible even while you’re panning left or right through the
Daily Shelf.
To move an item from the Daily Shelf to the Home Screen, tap the item, drag it up onto the Home Screen, and
release it. After you release the item, it stays on the Home Screen. The remaining items on the Daily Shelf slide to-
gether, closing the gap left by the item you moved away.
Moving Items from the Home Screen to the Daily Shelf
To move an item from the Home Screen to the Daily Shelf, tap the item and drag it into the Daily Shelf.
When the item enters the Daily Shelf, it might overlap items that are already on the shelf for a moment. The items on
the Daily Shelf will part to make way for the new item.
Removing Items from the Daily Shelf
To remove an item from the Daily Shelf manually, do this:
1. Press and hold on the item.
2. In the pop-up menu, tap on the menu choice Remove from Home.
Your NOOK removes the item from the Daily Shelf and the Home Screen.
Organizing Items on Your Home Screen
You can drag books, magazines, newspapers, and apps onto the Home Screen from the Daily Shelf. Once items are
on the Home Screen, you can arrange them however you like.
You can stack items. Your NOOK lets you drag one book cover on top of another as long as no cover is completely
obscured by the covers on the top of it.
Organizing Home Screen Items in Grids
If your Home Screen has become too cluttered, you can tell your NOOK to automatically arrange all the covers in a
neat grid.

item, and second to open it once it has downloaded. If an item has not fully downloaded, a Download
badge will appear on its cover.
You can also open a book or periodical by pressing and holding on its cover to open a pop-up menu, and then select-
ing the menu choice Read.
Using Media Shortcuts
Media Shortcuts are small icons that can optionally appear below the Daily Shelf. Tapping a Media Shortcut displays
a list of recently accessed items of that media type (for example, books), along with recommendations for similar
items in the NOOK Store. There are five shortcuts: books, newsstand, video, music, and apps. The video and music
shortcuts refer to video apps and music apps, respectively.

Lending and Borrowing Books
With Barnes & Noble’s exclusive LendMe® technology, you can share lendable NOOK Books with any NOOK
Friend or any friend who has a Barnes & Noble account with a valid credit card number. Your NOOK Friend or friend
can read the book on any NOOK or NOOK eReader or on any NOOK application such as NOOK for iPhone®,
NOOK for iPod touch®, and NOOK for PC.
You may lend each of your lendable books once. You cannot read a book while it is on loan or while a lending oer is
pending, but you always get the book back once it has been returned or when 14 days have passed.
You can access LendMe features through the NOOK Friends app or through your Library.
Guidelines for Lending and Borrowing Books
Here are details about lending and borrowing books.
• You can lend only books that are in your Barnes & Noble Lifetime Library. Your Lifetime Library holds all the
NOOK Books that you have purchased. Not all books can be lent, though many can.
• You can lend only from a registered NOOK or NOOK Color.
• You can send a lending oer to any email address, but to accept the oer, the other person must have an email
address associated with a Barnes & Noble online account, a valid credit card number associated with the online
account, and a NOOK, NOOK Color, or other B&N eReader application that supports lending. An account
holder’s credit card is not charged when he or she borrows a book from you.
• You can lend a book from anywhere with supported wireless connectivity (including Wi-Fi hotspots outside of
the United States, U.S. territories, and Canada).
• You can only lend a book one time. It only counts as the one-time lending if your friend accepts the lending oer.
If the lending oer expires or your friend rejects the oer, you can still lend the book.
• When you oer to lend a book, the oer lasts for up to 7 days. The oer ends when your friend accepts the of-
fer or when 7 days have passed.
• Once you have oered to lend the book, you cannot retract your oer.
• A loan is for 14 calendar days, counting the day on which the lending oer is accepted. A lent book is automati-
cally returned at the beginning of the 15th calendar day (if the borrower has not returned it more quickly).
• When you lend a book, you temporarily lend the digital rights to the book. During the period when the lending
oer is pending and while the book is lent, you cannot read it. When the book is returned, you get the digital
rights back, and can read the book again.
• You cannot lend a book that has been lent to you.
• You cannot save a copy of a lent book to the microSD card.
• You cannot archive a book that has been lent to you.
Determining whether a Book Can Be Lent
Not all books can be lent. Here’s how you can determine whether or not a book is lendable.
• Any book eligible for lending has a LendMe badge on its cover.
• If your Library includes any books eligible to be lent out, they will appear on the shelf of lendable books in the
LendMe section of your Library.
• LendMe badges are present when you are browsing and searching for books in the NOOK Store on the BN.com
website. When you navigate to the details page of a book, you’ll see a LendMe badge on the book’s cover if that
book can be lent.
• LendMe badges are present in your library on the BN.com website. If you can lend a book, a LendMe badge is
present below the date added. Click the badge to lend the book.
If you have lent a book, it appears in the list of books you have lent. On the cover of each book, you’ll see the num-
ber of days left on the loan.

Types of Accounts
Your NOOK supports two types of email accounts:

• IMAP (another Internet standard for email)
Most Internet service providers (ISPs) and free email services (such as Google and Yahoo!) support both POP and
IMAP. POP email programs usually send or receive messages in batches at timed intervals. IMAP establishes a continu-
ous connection between your email program and the email server. Many people find that IMAP provides more stable
service than POP, but both email protocols are popular and both work.
Setting Up an Account
You can set up multiple email accounts on your NOOK. For example, if you have a Gmail account and a Yahoo! ac-
count, you can send and receive email for both accounts on your NOOK. One of your accounts will be your default
email account, so that when you send messages from your NOOK, you’ll use that account automatically.

word and let your NOOK automatically configure your account with those credentials, or you can manually configure
the account yourself.

word box below the password field.
