Getting to Know Your NOOK
Your NOOK is an eReader with a full-color touchscreen. On your NOOK, you can:
• Read books, magazines, newspapers, catalogs, comics, and graphic novels.
• Shop over three million titles, including over one million free titles, from Barnes & Noble. Buy books, single issues
of magazines and newspapers, as well as subscriptions to magazines and newspapers.
• Discover new books through NOOK Channels, the easiest and best way to find what you love. One hundred
years of bookseller knowledge go into our handpicked collections of books, magazines, and apps that speak to
your interests. There are over 300 channels—and counting—so find your favorites and follow them for inspira-
tion.
• Buy or rent and then download or stream popular movies and TV shows from Disney, Sony, HBO and more.
Watch everything from Hollywood blockbusters to indie favorites. Link your UltraViolet™ account to your
NOOK account to enjoy your UltraViolet digital collection on your NOOK.
• Buy and enjoy content from Google Play™. Google Play is a digital content experience from Google where you
can find your favorite music, movies, books, and Android apps and games. It’s your entertainment hub: You can
access it from the Web or your NOOK, and all your content is available instantly across all your devices.
• Lend, borrow, share, and recommend books to friends via Facebook, Twitter®, or Google using Barnes &
Noble’s LendMe® technology.
• Store thousands of books, along with magazines, newspapers, comics, graphic novels, music, photos, apps, vid-
eos, and more.
• Browse the Web with Google Chrome™. Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with
sophisticated technology to make the Web faster, safer, and easier.
• Send and receive email.
• Store and read files, including PDFs and Microsoft Oce documents.
Your NOOK is small and comfortable enough to hold easily with one hand and to slip into a bag or a purse.
NOOK Apps and Google Play Apps
Your NOOK supports both NOOK apps and Google Play apps. NOOK apps are apps developed for your NOOK
and tested and approved by Barnes & Noble. In the NOOK Store and in your Library, NOOK apps are marked with
a small green NOOK logo in the lower right corner.
Google Play apps are available from the Google Play Store.
NOTE: Some apps are available both as NOOK apps and as Google Play apps. If you already have a NOOK
version of an app, you do not need to purchase an additional Google Play version.
NOTE: Content for Google Play apps is available only within the apps themselves. For example, Google Play
Books do not appear in your NOOK Library. To access your Google Play Books, launch the Play Books
app.
NOTE: To purchase and access Google Play content, you need to have a Google account. You can set up a
Google account either on accounts.google.com or within a Google Play app. Google accounts are free.
To purchase Google Play content, you will need to set up a credit card for a Google Wallet™ account.
Launch the Play Store app for instructions for entering credit card information for a Google Wallet ac-
count.
