Using NOOK Friends™

NOOK Friends™ is an app that lets you connect to friends, lend and borrow books, share comments and recom- mendations, and more.

The app creates a social network for NOOK Friends. A NOOK Friend is a friend of yours 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.

NOTE: If you have linked your NOOK to your Facebook account, the NOOK Friends app automatically adds Facebook friends who have BN.com accounts into your NOOK Friends.

NOTE: You can also add a new NOOK Friend by inviting an existing Contact or entering an email address. Contacts who already have BN.com accounts automatically appear as Suggested Friends in the NOOK Friends app.

In addition to the NOOK Friends nav bar, the NOOK Friends app features buttons for issuing NOOK Friends invitations and for listing all your NOOK Friends.

We’ll describe all these buttons and features in turn.
