Downloading Content

To download content from your online digital library:

•Your NOOK must be registered.

•Your NOOK must have established a wireless connection.

For the NOOK (Wi-Fi + 3G model), downloads of very large eBooks, periodicals, and magazines require a Wi-Fi connection.

When you download DRM-secured content that was purchased from your NOOK or on the BN.com website, it is encrypted using your first and last name and default credit card number. Usually, you do not need to enter this information to open DRM-secured content. In rare circumstances, you might have to enter this information.

If you transfer DRM-secured content to your NOOK using USB, you must enter your first and last name and default credit card number the first time you open digital content secured with a specific name and credit card. You only need to enter the information one time, not for every eBook.

Automatic Downloads

eBooks, just-purchased single issues of periodicals, and current issues of subscriptions are downloaded to your NOOK automatically after delivery to your online digital library. Just-purchased content should be available on your NOOK a minute or two after you purchase it.

eBooks you borrow are also downloaded immediately following delivery to your online digital library.

Manual Downloads

In several cases, you might need to manually download digital content:

•If you have previously purchased digital content, and it was not automatically downloaded to your NOOK, according to the rules in “Previously Purchased Content” on page 91

•If you have subscribed to a periodical, and your NOOK has not been able to automatically download current issues (for example, if you were travelling outside areas with connectivity)

•If you unregister and re-register your device to the same Barnes & Noble online account

•If you archive content. How to unarchive content is explained in “Unarchiving B&N Digital Content” on page 105.

•If your NOOK automatically deleted content when My B&N Library was approaching full

You can download content from your online digital library to your NOOK an unlimited number of times.
