Getting Started with Your NOOK

The first time you use your NOOK, you’ll need to go through a short set-up process that will take about 5 to 10 min- utes. Make sure that you’re in an area that has a Wi-Fi® connection (a wireless connection to the Internet), because part of the process is registering your NOOK with your Barnes & Noble account on BN.com.

NOTE: You will not be able to set up your NOOK without a Wi-Fi connection.In the set-up process, you will do the following:•Turn on your NOOK by pressing the power button on the back panel.•Accept the Terms of Service.•Set the time zone.•Connect to a Wi-Fi network.•Register your NOOK to a Barnes & Noble account.

NOTE: If you don’t already have a Barnes & Noble account, you’ll have an opportunity to create one during the registration step.

Your Barnes & Noble Account

A Barnes & Noble account allows you to purchase and download books, magazines, and newspapers on your NOOK, and from the Barnes & Noble Web site.

The account also allows you to synchronize your NOOK with any other NOOK eReaders you have, such as NOOK eReader software applications installed on your tablet (for example, an iPad® or an iPod touch®), PC, or smart- phone (for example, an iPhone® or an Android phone).

If you don’t have a Barnes & Noble account, you can set one up in a few minutes on the NOOK Web site. Just open a browser on your computer, and visit the page: www.nook.com/setup. You’ll also have the opportunity to set up an account during the registration process for your NOOK.

Your Barnes & Noble account is ready for use once you have set up the following:

•An email address•A default credit card number•A valid expiration date for the credit card•A current U.S. billing address

If you have any questions about setting up an account, please call Customer Service at 1-800-THE-BOOK(1-800-843-2665).
