Adding Storage
If you want to increase the storage capacity of your
NOOK
, you can purchase and insert a
microSD
TM

TM
card. microSD and microSDHC cards have the following logos:
Supplemental microSD and microSDHC cards will hold about 1000 eBooks per gigabyte. The
amount of space for eBooks is affected by how much space you devote to other files, such as music
and audiobooks.
Supported Cards
Following are the specifications of supported cards:
•
A microSD or microSDHC card with a storage capacity of up to 16 GB. For simplicity’s sake, we
refer to these both as microSD cards below.
•
Class 2, 4, and 6 microSD cards are supported. Class 6 is faster than class 4, which is faster than
class 2. The class should be mentioned on the packaging for the microSD card and printed on
the card itself. If no speed is indicated, the card is a class 2 card. The speed of the card does
not affect page display speeds. It can affect read and write speeds when transferring eBooks and
personal files to and from the SD card.
•
The microSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 or FAT16 file system.

the cover toward the top of your
NOOK
