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, or newspapers, 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 ac-
cessible.
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. A small NOOK symbol will appear in the far left corner of the Status Bar when a new software
release is available. Tap on the NOOK symbol to learn details about the release.
Software installations take only a few minutes. Updating your software doesn’t affect the contents of your Library
or the titles listed in your Keep Reading list. 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.
Discovering the Version Number of Your NOOK Software

1. Tap the Quick Nav button to open the Quick Nav Bar.
2. Tap on the Settings icon.
3. Tap on Device Info .
4. Tap on About Your NOOK .
You’ll see a screen listing the version number of the NOOK software installed on your NOOK.
