Push the card gently until it clicks into place.

Snap the gray lid back into place.
If you haven’t used the card before, you may need to format it before you can
use it. If that’s the case, you’ll see a dialog box telling you that the card needs
to be formatted. Tap Format Now. You’ll get a warning, telling you that format-
ting the card will delete all its contents. Tap the Format Now button again, and
the NOOK formats the card. (If you don’t get the alert telling you that the card
needs to be formatted, don’t worry—that just means it’s already formatted and
you’re ready to go.)
Once the card is installed, you’ll see two new links in the Media bar of your
Library, one labeled My NOOK, and one labeled Memory Card. Tap the Memory
Card link to see and use its contents.
NOTE
The NOOK Tablet can play media files up to 2 GB.
Removing the Card
Removing an SD card is as easy as installing one. Place your NOOK face down
and open the card slot as described in the steps on page 26. Push gently against
the memory card with your fingertip and then release it; part of the card pops
out. You can then slide the card out of the slot and snap the gray lid back into
place.
Table 11-1. You don’t want to waste your time transferring files that will merely sit
on your NOOK, unloved and unused. This table details what kinds of files work
with it.
