NOTE: You will need to connect to a Wi-Fi network to complete your registration.

Your NOOK displays its Terms of Service.
2. Read the NOOK Terms of Service. If you agree to them, tap the Agree button.
If you do not accept the Terms of Service, you will not be able to use your NOOK.
If you tapped the Agree button, your NOOK displays a list of time zones.
3. Select your Time Zone by tapping its button. Tap Next.
4. Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
To register your NOOK and to purchase and download books and periodicals, you need to be connected to a
Wi-Fi network. If you’re in a Barnes & Noble store, your NOOK will automatically connect to the store’s Wi-Fi
network. If you’re in some other location with Wi-Fi access, your NOOK will list all the networks it finds. Tap
on the name of the network you want to connect to. If you see a lock symbol beside the network’s name, it’s a
secure network. You’ll need to enter a password to connect to the network. If you do not know the network
password, ask for the network administrator for help. If you have problems connecting, visit http://nook.com/
wifi for more troubleshooting tips.
5. Once you have connected to a network, tap Next (if you are in a Barnes & Noble store and connected to its
network) or Continue with Setup (if you are connected to any other Wi-Fi network.)
Your NOOK displays a messaging saying it is registering your device. When the registration has completed,
your NOOK displays a Sign In screen with an email field, a password field, and a keyboard at the bottom of the
screen.
6. Sign in to your BN.com account.
When you register your NOOK, you link it to your Barnes & Noble account and give it access all the books and
periodicals in your Barnes & Noble library. You also make it possible to shop for new books and periodicals on
your NOOK.
If you already have a Barnes & Noble account, do this:
a. On the Sign In screen, enter the email address and password for your Barnes & Noble account.
(As a security precaution, if you enter your password incorrectly five times, you will be locked
out of your BN.com account for half an hour. If you like, you can reset your account by visiting
BN.com.)
b. Tap the Sign In button below the password field.
c. When a dialog box appears, saying “Registration successful,” tap the OK button.
