The first time you turn on your NOOK, it will show a 90-second video that gives you a quick tour of the main features of your NOOK. Tap the button labeled “Play Video” to start playing the video.
NOTE: You can re-watch this video and watch other NOOK tutorial videos, as well, once you have completed the registration process. See the “Tutorial Videos” section below for details.

Read and Accept the Terms of Service. When the video has finished, your NOOK displays its Terms of Service. Read the terms. To accept them, tap the "Agree" button. (If you do not accept the Terms of Service, you will not be able to use your NOOK.)

Connect to a Wi-Fi network. To register your NOOK and to purchase and download books and periodicals, you need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network. If you’re in a Barnes & Noble store, your NOOK will automatically open a dialog box, offering you the option of connecting to the store’s Wi-Fi network. If you’re in some other location with Wi-Fi access, your NOOK will list all the networks it finds. Tap on the name of the network you want to connect to. If you see a lock symbol beside the network’s name, it’s a secure network. You’ll need to enter a password to connect to the network. If you do not know the network password, ask for the network administrator for help. Once you have connected to a network, tap Continue with Setup.
-
Register your NOOK. When you register your NOOK, you link it to your Barnes & Noble account and give it access to all the books and periodicals in your Barnes & Noble library. You also make it possible to shop for new books and periodicals on your NOOK.
