Configuring Profiles - NOOK GLOWLIGHT PLUS User Manual

Configuring Profiles
A NOOK Profile tailors content and shopping experiences on your NOOK for an individual user. Your NOOK sup-
ports up to six NOOK profiles, enabling different people to use your NOOK in different ways.
All the purchases made on your NOOK through any profile are processed through the NOOK or BN.com account
to which your NOOK is registered.
Types of Profiles
Your NOOK supports three types of NOOK Profiles:
• Primary Profile: This is the profile created by default when you register your NOOK. This profile can view
all the content on the device an. It can also create and edit profiles for other users and manage those profiles'
access to content. All purchases made on the NOOK are processed using the payment method associated with
this profile.
• Adult Profile: An adult profile can purchase any type of content. An adult profile can also control which con-
tent is visible to itself and which content is visible to any child profile. It can also set parental controls for child
profiles. It cannot control which content is visible to the primary profile.
• Child Profile: By default, a child profile can only view and purchase content authorized by the primary profile
or through parental controls configured by an adult profile. A child profile does not have the ability to create or
edit other profiles. It cannot override parental controls.
