NOOK Simple Touch - Transfer Files from PC

You can transfer files, including EPUB files, PDFs, and photos*, from your personal computer to your NOOK Simple Touch.

*You can transfer photos to your NOOK only for use as screensavers. To learn about setting up screen­savers, follow the instructions in your User Guide.

Transferring files from your personal computer to your NOOK is also called sideloading.

To transfer files from your personal computer to your NOOK:

1. Using the microUSB cable provided with your NOOK, connect your NOOK to your personal computer.

Use only the microUSB cable provided with your NOOK. Using any other cable might damage your NOOK.

2. When you connect your NOOK to your personal computer, your NOOK will appear as a new disk drive labeled NOOK on your personal computer. Drag the files you want to transfer onto the NOOK drive.

If you connect your NOOK to a Windows PC, the PC may display a dialog box asking if you want to install a driver for a NOOK. Click Cancel to close this dialog box. You do not need to install a special driver to transfer files to your NOOK.

3. To organize the files, open the NOOK drive. You'll see several folders on your NOOK. Move your personal files in the My Files folder.

4. When you have finished arranging files, eject the NOOK drive from your personal computer to unmount the NOOK file system.

5. Disconnect the microUSB cable.
