IMPORTANT: In order to connect with your Barnes & Noble online account, the
Date and Time must be set correctly according to your location.
eBooks downloaded from Barnes & Noble to a Macintosh computer are saved
in an unsupported .pdb format. If you copy the .pdb formatted eBooks into
your
pandigital novel, they will not be recognized. You should
always use Get Books to download eBooks directly from your Barnes & Noble
download library into your
pandigital novel. Music, Video and
Photo files can be copied from a Macintosh computer into your
pandigital novel as long as they are in a supported file format.
1. Make sure your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
2. In the
My Library screen, tap Get Books.
3. The first time, you are prompted for your Barnes & Noble login information.
CAUTION: Later if you want to switch to a different Barnes & Noble account,
you can enter the new account login information when prompted. However,
be advised that if you switch accounts, a factory reset occurs which deletes
all your personal data (see Reset Defaults, pg. 41). When prompted for the
factory reset, tap No to keep the currently saved Barnes & Noble account.
4. Wait for the list of your downloadable media to be displayed, which could take
up to a minute depending on how many items are in your account.
Only the current downloadable media appears in the list. Media is NOT
listed if:
- it has already been downloaded
- it’s lent, loan pending, or in return status
- a pre-ordered book
- Barnes & Noble has not released it as downloadable yet (which can
take up to 60 minutes from the time you purchased online).
If desired, you can go online to check your download library to be sure
your media is in your download library.
- it’s archived in your Barnes & Noble account. To access archived
media, go to your online account and move it from the archive library to
your download library.
5. To download specific items, tap next to the items you want to download
now, tap Download Selected.
To download all purchased media, tap Download All.
The media is downloaded and added to your My Library.
6. Tap to close the window.
If your download takes longer than 10 minutes, to save power the screen
goes black, but the device does not go into sleep mode and your download
continues until complete.
