Buying a Book
Once you’re in the NOOK Store, you can buy any book you see that has a button displaying the book’s price. (If you
don’t see a button with a price next to a particular book, it’s because you’ve already purchased the book. A gray label
reading Purchased appears where the price button used to be.)
To buy a book, do this:
1. To buy a book, tap on the button displaying a price next to the book’s cover or title.
The NOOK Store replaces the price button with a button labeled Confirm.
2. Tap the Confirm button.
What happens next depends on how you’ve customized your NOOK Store. If you’re using the default set-up,
your NOOK begins downloading the book once you tap Confirm. If you’ve set up your NOOK Store to require
that your NOOK account or BN.com account password be entered every time anyone makes a purchase on
your NOOK, a dialog box opens. Tap in the Password field and enter the password for your NOOK account or
BN.com account. Tap OK.
NOTE: You can configure your NOOK to prompt you for a password before you make a purchase. To set up
your NOOK to require a password, visit Settings and open the Shop settings page.
To go ahead and purchase the item, click Buy.
To cancel the transaction without buying, tap the X in the upper right hand corner of the window. This closes the
window without completing the purchase.
What Happens When You Buy an Item in the NOOK Store?
When you buy a book, magazine, newspaper, comic, graphic novel, or app, it begins downloading to your NOOK.
Here’s a closer look at what happens:
• The item appears at the far left end of the Active Shelf.
• The item also appears in your Library.
• A badge saying “New” appears on item’s cover. This badge will disappear once you open the item.
• If an item is still in the process of downloading, a progress bar appears on its cover, indicating the amount of
content that remains to be downloaded.
Buying a Single Issue of a Magazine or Newspaper
To buy a single issue of a newspaper or magazine, do this:
1. Open the details page for the magazine or newspaper you want.
2. Tap the Buy Current Issue button.
The button changes to a green Confirm button.
3. Tap the Confirm button to confirm your purchase.
Once you have confirmed your purchase, your NOOK downloads the issue. The Confirm button changes to a
button labeled Read.
4. Tap the Read button to begin reading the issue.
