account.
NOTE: Erasing and deregistering your NOOK Color does not delete any of the books, magazines, and news-
papers from your Barnes & Noble account. Your reading material, while no longer available on your
NOOK Color, is still available for downloading and for reading with NOOK applications, such as
NOOK for iPhone and NOOK for Android. In addition, you can re-register your NOOK Color by
following the same steps you used when you first set up your NOOK Color. Once you have registered,
your complete Library is once again available on your NOOK Color.
