Getting Started with Your NOOK

The first time you use your NOOK Color, you’ll need to go through a short set-up process that will take about 5 
to 10 minutes. Make sure that you’re in an area that has a Wi-Fi connection (a wireless connection to the Internet), 
because part of the process is registering your NOOK with your Barnes & Noble account on BN.com.

NOTE: You will not be able to set up your NOOK without a Wi-Fi connection.

In the set-up process, you will do the following:

•  Turn on your NOOK.

•  Watch a quick video that introduces you to the main features of your NOOK Color.

•  Accept the Terms of Service for the NOOK.

•  Set the time zone for your NOOK.

•  Connect to a Wi-Fi network.

•  Register your NOOK Color to a Barnes & Noble account. 

NOTE: If you don’t already have a Barnes & Noble account, you’ll have an opportunity to create one during the 

registration step.

Your Barnes & Noble Account

A Barnes & Noble account allows you to purchase and download books, magazines, and newspapers on your NOOK 
Color, and from the Barnes & Noble Web site. 

The account also allows you to synchronize your NOOK Color with any other NOOK eReaders you have, such as 
NOOK eReader software applications installed on your tablet (for example, an iPad® or an iPod touch®), PC, or 
smartphone (for example, an iPhone® or an Android phone).

If you don’t have a Barnes & Noble account, you can set one up in a few minutes on the NOOK Color Web site. Just 
open a browser on your computer, and visit the page:  

. You’ll also have the opportunity 

to set up an account during the registration process for your NOOK Color.

Your Barnes & Noble account is ready for use once you have set up the following:

•  An email address

•  The number of a credit card issued by a U.S.-based bank

•  A valid expiration date for the credit card

•  A current U.S. billing address

If you have any questions about setting up an account, please call Customer Service at
