Wall Charging
Wall charging is the recommended way to charge your NOOK, because it is faster than USB charging. You can charge your NOOK when it is on or sleeping. If your NOOK is off, it turns on when you plug it in. You can use your NOOK while it is charging.
Only use the supplied NOOK power adapter. Other power adapters might damage your battery and NOOK.

5When your NOOK is fully charged, the charging indicator light goes out.

USB Charging
While your NOOK is charging through USB, you can use it as a USB drive, or you can eject/ unmount the NOOK drive and a supplemental microSD card drive if present and use your NOOK for reading. We recommend that you do not shop or download content while USB charging.
You can charge your NOOK from a USB port on a personal computer. This is convenient if you are using USB drive mode on your NOOK to transfer files, or if you are using a personal computer for
