Software Updates
If your NOOK is not registered, you will not receive messages about software updates in
The Daily. You can download software updates from the support section of the NOOK
website, www.nook.com/support.
Software updates fix problems with the software. They also contain new features. Updates are
required. You can find out what an update contains at www.nook.com/support.
Wireless Updates
Each time your registered NOOK turns on from fully o or synchronizes, it checks to determine
whether the software it is running is the latest available. It also checks immediately after registration.
If more current software is available and your NOOK can download it wirelessly, your NOOK
downloads and installs the software. It displays a message that informs you that the update is
occurring. A restart is a part of the update process. Do not turn o your NOOK.
Prior to downloading the software update, your NOOK determines whether the wireless signal
strength is sucient for the download.
Your nook might not be able to download the update wirelessly in these cases:
• NOOK Wi-Fi: Your NOOK is not connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot.
• NOOK (Wi-Fi + 3G model): Your NOOK is not connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot. Your NOOK
has also not detected a B&N Fast & Free Wireless network, or the update is too large to
download over the B&N Fast & Free Wireless network.
Some software updates require a Wi-Fi connection. If your nook cannot download an
update wirelessly, you receive a message in The Daily that contains information about how
to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot, and about how to obtain the update from www.nook.com/
support and transfer it to your NOOK using USB.
USB Updates
Some software updates must be downloaded over Wi-Fi or transferred to your NOOK using USB.
Software updates for unregistered NOOKs must be transferred using USB. You can obtain the
current software update from the website www.nook.com/support. Information about how to
transfer the update to your NOOK using USB is also available from the website.
