Registering Your NOOK Color
NOTE: You will need to connect to a Wi-Fi network to complete your registration.
1. Watch the Introductory Video.
The first time you turn on your NOOK Color, it will show a 90-second video that gives you a quick tour of
the main features of your NOOK Color. Tap the button labeled "Play Video" to start playing the video.
NOTE: You can re-watch this video and watch other NOOK Color tutorial videos, as well, once you have com-
pleted the registration process. See the "Tutorial Videos" section below for details.
2. Read and Accept the Terms of Service.
When the video has finished, your NOOK Color displays its Terms of Service. Read the terms. To accept
them, tap the Agree button. (If you do not accept the Terms of Service, you will not be able to use your
NOOK Color.)
3. Select your Time Zone.
After you accept the Terms of Service, your NOOK Color displays a list of time zones. Scroll through the
list and tap on the time zone you're in (for example, Eastern Standard Time). Then tap Next.
4. Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
To register your NOOK Color and to purchase and download books and periodicals, you need to be con-
nected to a Wi-Fi network. If you're in a Barnes & Noble store, your NOOK Color will automatically open a
dialog box, offering you the option of connecting to the store's Wi-Fi network. If you're in some other loca-
tion with Wi-Fi access, your NOOK Color will list all the networks it finds. Tap on the name of the network
you want to connect to. If you see a lock symbol beside the network's name, it's a secure network. You'll
need to enter a password to connect to the network. If you do not know the network password, ask for the
network administrator for help. If you have problems connecting, visit http://www.nookcolor.com/wifi for
more troubleshooting tips.
5. Register your NOOK Color.
When you register your NOOK Color, you link it to your Barnes & Noble account and give it access all the
books and periodicals in your Barnes & Noble library. You also make it possible to shop for new books and
periodicals on your NOOK Color.

a. Enter the email address and password for your Barnes & Noble account.
b. Tap Submit.
If you do not already have a Barnes & Noble account, do this:
a. Tap the gold arrow in the lower right corner of the screen.

c. Tap Submit.
Your NOOK Color creates your Barnes & Noble account and registers your NOOK Color to your
account.
That's it. You've registered your NOOK Color.
You're ready to read books, magazines, and newspapers, and to shop in the NOOK Store™.
