drive. Drag the files you want to transfer onto your NOOK. Files should go in the My Files folder. Put
photos in the Photos subfolder. Put wallpapers in the Wallpapers subfolder. When you have finished
transferring files, use your computer's disk eject feature to unmount your NOOK before disconnecting
the custom microUSB cable.
