Updating The Software On Your Nook Color - Barnes & Noble NOOK Color User Manual

Updating the Software on Your NOOK Color

From time to time Barnes & Noble will release software updates for your NOOK Color. Your NOOK Color will
automatically install these updates.
NOTE: Updating software does not delete any of your books, magazines, or newspapers, nor does it delete any
of the files you have transferred onto your NOOK Color from your personal computer. The software
update simply installs new NOOK Color software to give you the latest features available from Barnes
& Noble. Your NOOK Color remains registered to your Barnes & Noble account, and all your reading
material remains accessible.
Installing a Software Update over a Wireless Network
When a new software release is available, your NOOK Color will download it and install it when you next connect
to a wireless network. A small green NOOK symbol will appear in the far left corner of the Status Bar when a new
software release is available. Tap on the green NOOK symbol to learn details about the release.
Software installations take only a few minutes. Updating your software doesn't affect the contents of your Library
or the titles listed in your Keep Reading list. Once the software installation is complete, you can continue reading or
shopping or doing whatever else you were doing before the new software was installed.
Discovering the Version Number of Your NOOK Color Software
To discover which software release your NOOK Color is running, do this:
1. Tap the white Nav Arrow in the Status Bar to open the Quick Nav Bar.
2. Tap on the Settings icon.
3. Tap on Device Info.
4. Tap on About Your NOOK Color.
You'll see a screen listing the version number of the NOOK Color Software installed in your system.
