More than 12 years have passed since Barnes & Noble introduced our eReaders and Tablets. Technology has continued to forge ahead, and we continue our commitment to offer the best reading experience with each new device we release. It is due to these advances and changes in technology that, as of June 2024, we discontinued services to the below devices.

Now that these functions have been removed, the devices listed above can perform the following actions only:

All downloaded digital content (eBooks, magazines, newspapers, audiobooks) will still be accessible on your device.
