Read in Stores
You can read many eBooks in a Barnes & Noble Bookstore free of charge. Read a specific eBook
for a maximum of one hour every calendar day.
The time period of one hour is of active reading. After two minutes of not turning a
page (and not going to dierent parts of the eBook using the Go to menu), your NOOK
stops the clock, and starts it again when you resume actively reading. For example, if you
read an eBook for half an hour, then go out for lunch, and return to the store to read,
about 28 minutes of reading time for the eBook will remain today.
Several restrictions apply to reading free content:
• Read in Store is only available on registered NOOKs.
• Read In Store is limited to eBooks.
• Reading time is limited to one hour per calendar day.
• You cannot save or archive free content. At the end of the hour or when you leave the store, it
will no longer be available. You can read it another time (tomorrow or later).
• You cannot bookmark, highlight, or annotate free content.
• You cannot change the font or text size while reading free content.
The eBooks that you have read in stores are available in the Recently Read In Store menu in the
Shop, with the most recently read eBooks at the top.
