In Barnes & Noble Bookstores, you receive in-store special offers, but you cannot purchase
eBooks or periodicals until you register your
NOOK
. You also cannot use Read In Store to read
many eBooks in Barnes & Noble Bookstores.
Unregistering your
NOOK
You should not need to unregister your
NOOK
. But in three cases you would want to:
•
If you change the email address and/or password of your BN.com account. In this case,
unregister your
NOOK

NOOK

the new information. Read the information below about the impact of unregistration and
re-registration.

If you are giving your
NOOK
to a family member or friend, but do not want that person to
make purchases.
•

NOOK

If you plan to sell your
NOOK
, we recommend that you back up your B&N and personal content,
unregister your
NOOK
, and then reset your
NOOK
to factory settings. For more information, see
“Resetting to Factory Settings” on page 183.
Unregistering your
NOOK
does not delete B&N or personal content, but it does delete
other information, as explained here. Note, however, that if you re-register your
NOOK
,
B&N content is deleted at that point. If you want to save the B&N content, you must copy
it to a location for personal content, for example, the
my documents
