Deleting B&N Content from your Online Digital Library

We recommend that you not delete B&N content. Instead, archive it, which removes the content from your NOOK (and other devices associated with your Barnes & Noble online account) and flags the content as archived in your library.

If you delete content from your online digital library, you cannot get it back, even by calling customer service. By deleting the content, you no longer own it, so the only option is

to re-purchase it. Think of it in the same terms as throwing away a book. Before deleting content from your online digital library, we recommend that you save a backup copy by copying the item from your NOOK to your personal computer.

There is no way to just delete content from your NOOK. To free up space on your NOOK, archive the content, which deletes it from your NOOK, deletes it from other devices associated with the account, and flags the item as archived in your library.

If you really do want to delete B&N content, you can do so from your account (the one associated with your NOOK) on the BN.com website.

When you delete content from your online digital library using the BN.com website:

•It is deleted permanently from your online digital library.

•It is deleted permanently from your NOOK and from all other devices associated with the account.

If you save a copy of digital content before deleting it, you can copy it from your personal computer to your NOOK using USB. Copy it to the my documents folder on your NOOK, which shows up as the My Documents section of your library. If you copy it back to my B&N downloads, your NOOK will delete it.

My Documents

Accessible from the library icon on the Home menu, My Documents is a view of your personal digital content (eBooks and periodicals with file formats EPUB, PDB, and PDF). Your NOOK supports digital reading content (for example, eBooks and periodicals) in the following formats:

•ePub, including DRM-secured files and files without DRM

•PDB, including DRM-secured files and files without DRM

•PDF, including password-secured files and files that are not secured

When you eject/unmount your NOOK drive from USB (and a supplemental microSD card drive if present), your NOOK scans for changes in content, and displays an up-to-date list in My Documents.

Where you can put your files differs for the internal memory and a supplemental microSD card:
