tal content if you have a billing address in the United States. You cannot purchase digital content if you have

Languages
Your NOOK has fonts that support languages based on a Latin character set for reading eBooks and other digital

languages include:
Afrikaans, Basque, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indo-
nesian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish
Your NOOK can display eBooks in other languages if the fonts are embedded in the eBook files. Language support in
other parts of the NOOK, for example in the Library and the Music player, is variable.
