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 green NOOK symbol will appear in the far left corner of the Status Bar when a new soft-
ware release is available. Tap on the green 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
To discover which software release your NOOK is running, do this:
1.  Tap the NOOK button in the Status Bar 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 in your system.
