Initial Library Synchronization and Downloads
Immediately after registration, your NOOK downloads a local copy of the catalog from your online digital library. It uses this catalog copy when searching your library. Your NOOK keeps the local catalog in sync with the online catalog. For more information about synchronization, see “Library Synchronization” on page 92.
Your NOOK does not assume that you want to download all of the content in your library to your NOOK. It downloads content when you ask it to, or when you ask to read it. Your NOOK does automatically download the five most recently purchased eBooks that were purchased from BN.com within the 30 days prior to registering your NOOK.
Later, when you make purchases from the Barnes & Noble eBookstore, what you buy is downloaded automatically to your NOOK.
An Unregistered NOOK
Fewer features are supported on an unregistered NOOK than on a registered one. On an unregistered NOOK:
•You can browse the Shop, but not buy anything (including free eBooks and samples). If you try to buy something, you will be prompted to register.
•You can read, bookmark, highlight, and take notes
•You cannot rate eBooks and periodicals.
•You can manage personal files and listen to music and audiobooks.
