Registering Your Nook; Account Creation; Pre-Registration - Barnes & Noble nook User Manual

Registering your nook

Registration is associating your nook with a B&N account (an account on the BN.com
website). You do this on your nook, not on the Barnes & Noble website.
A specific nook can be associated with only one B&N account. More than one nook can be
associated with the same B&N account.

Account Creation

Creating a B&N account precedes registration or is handled during the welcome-screen
sequence on your nook. During the welcome, you are asked to choose an existing B&N
account or to create one.
Default Credit Card
If you create an account online, specify a default credit card. It will be needed to register your
nook. If you did not specify a default credit card during account creation, you must do so
during nook registration.

Pre-Registration

If you purchased your nook online, you were signed in at the time, and you did not designate
the purchase as a gift, then your nook has already been registered automatically. It is already
associated with your B&N account. The same is true if someone else purchased the nook
online, was signed in, and did not designate the nook as a gift—it will be associated with
his/her account.
If the account association is wrong, you can de-register and re-register the nook.
When purchasing a nook, you can designate it as a gift (or not):
 A nook that is not a gift is pre-registered (it is associated with your account).
 A nook that is a gift is not pre-registered (it is not associated with your account).
