Getting to Know Your NOOK
Your NOOK is an eReader with a full-colour touchscreen. On your NOOK, you can:
• Read books, magazines, newspapers, comics, and graphic novels.
• Shop from an amazing selection of best-selling books, magazines and newspapers. Buy books, single issues of
magazines and newspapers, as well as subscriptions to magazines and newspapers.
• Discover new books through NOOK Channels, the easiest and best way to find what you love. One hundred
years of bookseller knowledge go into our handpicked collections of books, magazines, and apps that speak to
your interests. There are dozens of channels, so find your favourites and follow them for inspiration.
• Buy and enjoy content from Google Play. Google Play is a digital content experience from Google where you can
find your favorite music, books, and Android apps and games. It’s your entertainment hub: You can access it from
the Web or your NOOK, and all your content is available instantly across all your devices.
• Lend, borrow, share, and recommend books to friends via Facebook, Twitter®, or Google using NOOK
LendMe® technology.
• Store thousands of books, along with magazines, newspapers, comics, graphic novels, music, photos, apps, and
more.
• Browse the Web with Google Chrome. Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with so-
phisticated technology to make the Web faster, safer, and easier.
• Send and receive email.
• Store and read files, including PDFs and Microsoft Office documents. Store thousands of books, along with maga-
zines, newspapers, comics, graphic novels, music, photos, apps, and more.
Your NOOK is small and comfortable enough to easily hold with one hand and to slip into a bag or a purse.
NOOK Apps and Google Play Apps
Your NOOK supports both NOOK apps and Google Play apps. NOOK apps are apps developed, tested, and ap-
proved for your NOOK. In the NOOK Shop and in your Library, NOOK apps are marked with a small green NOOK
logo in the lower right corner.
Google Play apps are available from the Google Play Store.
NOTE: Some apps are available both as NOOK apps and as Google Play apps. If you already have the NOOK
version of an app, you do not need to purchase an additional Google Play version.
NOTE: Content for Google Play apps is available only within the apps themselves. For example, Google Play
Books do not appear in your NOOK Library. To access your Google Play Books, launch the Play Books
app.
NOTE: To purchase and access Google Play content, you need a Google account. You can set up a Google
account either on accounts.google.com or within a Google Play app. Google accounts are free. To
purchase Google Play content, you will need to set up a payment method for a Google Wallet account.
Launch the Play Store app for instructions for entering payment method information for a Google Wal-
let account.
