USB Connectivity
You can connect your NOOK to your personal computer using the provided USB cable. Your NOOK
uses USB 2.0.
Connecting your
NOOK to your personal computer puts your NOOK in USB drive mode. This lets
you:
• Obtain content from the Internet and place it on your
NOOK
• Put music, screensaver images, and wallpaper images on your NOOK
• Back up files
• Install large software updates
You cannot simultaneously manage files and folders through USB and use your NOOK, so
when your
NOOK is in USB drive mode, it is locked. If you are listening to the audio player,
that stops too.
Connecting your NOOK to your Computer
Connect your NOOK to your personal computer with the provided USB cable, as shown.

When you connect your NOOK to a personal computer using USB, it enters USB drive mode and
charges. If you want to charge your
NOOK and use it (as opposed to using USB drive mode), eject/
unmount the
NOOK drive (and the drive for a supplemental microSD card if present), but leave
your
NOOK plugged into the USB port on your computer.
To connect your
NOOK to your personal computer using USB:
1 If your NOOK is o, power it on. If it is asleep, you do not need to wake it.
