Configuring Social Features

You can use the Social settings screen to manage:

•your links to your Facebook, Twitter, and Google accounts

•your email contacts

•your NOOK friends™

•the visibility of your lendable books to your NOOK friends

A NOOK friend™ is a friend who has a Barnes & Noble account and an email address in your contacts list, and who has accepted your invitation to connect as a NOOK friend. Friendship is reciprocal. When someone becomes your NOOK friend, you also become his or her NOOK friend. NOOK friends can lend each other books, and they can request books from each other for loan.

Once you have linked to Facebook and Twitter and set up email contacts, you can share favorite quotes, book rec- ommendations, and reading status updates with your friends.

NOTE: Your NOOK must be connected to a Wi-Fi network in order to link to Facebook, Twitter, or Google.

To display the Social settings page, tap the Social menu choice on the main Settings page. The Social settings page looks like this.
