Using NOOK Friends™
NOOK Friends™ is an application that lets you connect to friends, lend and borrow books, share comments and
recommendations, and more.
The NOOK Friends app makes it easy for you to interact with your NOOK Friends. A NOOK Friend is a friend who
has a Barnes & Noble account and an email address in your contacts list, and who has accepted your invitation to
connect as a NOOK Friend. Friendship is reciprocal. When someone becomes your NOOK Friend, you also become
his or her NOOK Friend.
NOTE: If you have linked your NOOK to your Facebook account, the NOOK Friends app automatically adds
Facebook friends who have BN.com accounts into your NOOK Friends.
NOTE: You can also add a new NOOK Friend by inviting an existing Contact or entering an email address.
Contacts who already have BN.com accounts automatically appear as Suggested Friends in the NOOK
Friends app.
