NOOK GlowLight Devices - Transferring Files from Your Computer

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

NOTE: You can transfer photos to your NOOK only for use as screensavers.

NOTE: Transferring files from your personal computer to your NOOK is called “sideloading.”

To transfer files from your personal computer to your NOOK, follow these steps:

1. Using the custom micro-USB cable provided with your NOOK, connect your NOOK to your personal computer.

NOTE: Use only the micro-USB cable provided with your NOOK. Using any other cable might damage your NOOK.

2. On your NOOK, a dialog will open for the USB mode to be turned on. Tap “Connect” to enable the USB mode
3. When you connect your NOOK to your personal computer, your NOOK will appear as a new disk drive called “NOOK” on your personal computer.
4. Drag the files you want to transfer onto the “NOOK” drive.

NOTE: If you connect your NOOK to a Windows PC, the PC might 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.

5. 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.
6. When you have finished arranging files, eject the “NOOK” drive from your personal computer to unmount the NOOK file system.
7. Disconnect the micro-USB cable.

Recommendations for Files

After you transfer documents to your NOOK, keep back-up copies on your personal computer. Barnes & Noble cannot be responsible for any loss of data transferred to your NOOK.
