Updating the Software on Your NOOK
From time to time Barnes & Noble will release software updates for your NOOK. Your NOOK will automatically
install these updates.
NOTE: Updating software does not delete any of your books, magazines, movies, TV shows, newspapers, or
apps, nor does it delete any of the files you have transferred onto your NOOK from your personal
computer. The software update simply installs new NOOK software to give you the latest features
available from Barnes & Noble. Your NOOK remains registered to your Barnes & Noble account, and
all your reading material remains accessible.
Installing a Software Update over a Wireless Network
When a new software release is available, your NOOK will download it and install it when you next connect to a
wireless network.
Software installations take only a few minutes. Once the software installation is complete, you can continue reading or
shopping or doing whatever else you were doing before the new software was installed.

To discover which software release your NOOK is running, do this:
1. Tap the gear icon in the Status Bar at the top of the screen.
Your NOOK opens the Quick Settings window.
2. Tap the All Settings menu choice.
Your NOOK opens the Settings screens for configuring your NOOK.
3. Tap About Your NOOK.
