Automatic Deletion of Periodical Issues
Older issues of magazines and newspapers delivered by subscription are automatically deleted from your online digital library and NOOK, unless you archive the issues. Individually purchased issues are not subject to automatic deletion.
The number of issues that are kept varies, depending on the frequency of delivery:
•Daily (one or more issues per day): 10 issues
•Weekly: 10 issues
•Biweekly: 10 issues
•
•Monthly: 12 issues
•Bimonthly: 6 issues
•Quarterly: 4 issues
•Annual/Seasonal: 4 issues
If there are currently the above number of issues of a periodical, and a new issue is delivered, the oldest issue is deleted. For example, if you have 10 issues of a weekly magazine, and an 11th is delivered, then the oldest issue is deleted, so that 10 issues are kept.
If you have 10 issues of a weekly magazine, and you archive three, then three more issues will be delivered without resulting in deletion of the oldest issue.
Issues delivered by subscription that are not archived are deleted automatically whether or not they have been read.
Saving Issues of Periodicals
When you subscribe to a periodical, new issues are delivered automatically to your online digital library, and downloaded automatically if your NOOK has a wireless connection. You can manually download issues that your NOOK has not downloaded automatically.
Your online digital library keeps up to a specific number of issues of a periodical delivered by subscription (explained above) and automatically deletes older issues unless you save them.
You can save any issue that you want to save, and any number of issues. To save an issue, it must be in on your NOOK. This is because the way you save an issue is to archive it.
Saving an issue of a periodical deletes it from your NOOK, archives it in your online digital library (thereby saving it), and deletes it from other devices, if other devices are associated with your Barnes & Noble online account.
