Pre-Ordering eBooks

You can pre-order eBooks that are not currently available, but that will be available soon. When the eBook becomes available, it is delivered to your online digital library, you are charged for it, and you receive a notification in The Daily that it is available.

You can only pre-order eBooks if you have a billing address in the United States or Canada. You cannot pre-order eBooks if you have an international, U.S. territory, or APO/FPO (Army Post Office / Fleet Post Office) billing address. You can only pre-order digital content when physically within the United States (including Alaska and Hawaii), American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Palau, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada. Some items are not available for purchase in Canada.

Ordering Periodicals

For periodicals, you can purchase a single issue or a subscription:

When you purchase a single issue, the current issue is delivered and downloaded to your

NOOK.

When you purchase a subscription, you begin a 14-day free trial period. The current issue is delivered and downloaded to your NOOK. On the 15th day, your default credit card is charged.

You cannot order back issues of periodicals, or begin subscriptions in the past.

You cannot pre-order periodical issues or subscriptions.

Downloading Free eBooks

When you view item details for an eBook and the eBook is free, you “purchase” it just as you would for an eBook that costs something. The only difference is that there is no charge.

Downloading Free Samples

Some eBooks have a free sample you can download. The free sample is typically the first part of the book.

If there is a free sample for an eBook, Get free sample is a choice in the menus. If you have already downloaded the free sample, you cannot download it again (you don’t need to).

If you own an eBook, including one that is currently lent to a friend, you cannot download the free sample.

Free Trials for Periodicals

When you purchase a subscription to a periodical for the first time, you automatically get a 14-day free trial.
