For the NOOK (Wi-Fi + 3G model), downloads of very large eBooks, periodicals, and
magazines require a Wi-Fi connection.
When you download DRM-secured content that was purchased from your
NOOK or on the
BN.com website, it is encrypted using your first and last name and default credit card number.
Usually, you do not need to enter this information to open DRM-secured content. In rare
circumstances, you might have to enter this information.
If you transfer DRM-secured content to your
NOOK using USB, you must enter your first and last
name and default credit card number the first time you open digital content secured with a specific
name and credit card. You only need to enter the information one time, not for every eBook.
Automatic Downloads
eBooks, just-purchased single issues of periodicals, and current issues of subscriptions are
downloaded to your
NOOK automatically after delivery to your online digital library. Just-purchased
content should be available on your
NOOK a minute or two after you purchase it.
eBooks you borrow are also downloaded immediately following delivery to your online digital
library.

• If you have previously purchased digital content, and it was not automatically downloaded to
your
NOOK, according to the rules in “Previously Purchased Content” on page 89

NOOK has not been able to automatically
download current issues (for example, if you were travelling outside areas with connectivity)
• If you unregister and re-register your device to the same Barnes & Noble.com account

NOOK an unlimited number of
times.
