Use the file manager on your personal computer to manage personal files on your NOOK.
If you put personal files in the correct locations in the internal memory, then the content will be found. If you put personal files anywhere else, they will be on your NOOK, but your NOOK will not find them. For more information, see “One Drive or Two” on page 157 and “Where You Can Put Files” on page 163.
To manage personal files and folders on your NOOK:
1Connect your NOOK to your personal computer using USB, as explained in “Connecting your NOOK to your Computer” on page 155.
2Using a file manager, manage the files and folders. Copy files from your computer to your NOOK, or from your NOOK to your computer, or move or delete files, or manage folders, in the same manner as you would manage files on your computer.
3When you have finished managing files, eject your NOOK.
To copy files to a new microSD card:
1Use a file explorer to copy or move files from the old microSD card to your personal computer.
2Insert the new microSD card in your NOOK. For this procedure, see “Changing microSD Cards” on page 169.
3Copy or move the files to the new microSD card in your NOOK. Copying is a better idea than moving, because you have backup copies.
4After you have verified that the copy operation succeeded, you could delete unneeded files.
Keep a Copy of Your Personal Files
Electronic storage media sometimes fail to preserve your files. They encounter magnetic fields that are too feisty, get dropped from boats into lakes, and get stolen. It is a good idea to keep copies of the personal files on your NOOK on your computer.
Regarding your B&N content in the My B&N Library part of your library, if you lose copies on your NOOK, you can retrieve them from your online digital library. You can also back them up yourself on your personal computer. If you copy them back to your NOOK, place them in the my documents folder or on a supplemental microSD card. They will appear in the My Documents section of your library.
