10 Barnes & Noble NOOKcolor User Guide
Getting Started with Your NOOKcolor
The first time you use your NOOKcolor, you’ll need to go through a short set-up process that will take about 5 to 10
minutes. Make sure that you’re in an area that has a Wi-Fi connection (a wireless connection to the Internet), because
part of the process is registering your NOOKcolor with your Barnes & Noble account on BN.com.
NOTE: You will not be able to set up your NOOKcolor without a Wi-Fi connection.
In the set-up process, you will do the following:
• Turn on your NOOKcolor.
• Watch a quick video that introduces you to the main features of your NOOKcolor.
• Accept the Terms of Service for the NOOKcolor.
• Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
• Set the time zone for your NOOKcolor.
• Register your NOOKcolor to a Barnes & Noble account.
NOTE: If you don’t already have a Barnes & Noble account, you’ll have an opportunity to create one during the
registration step.
Your Barnes & Noble Account
A Barnes & Noble account allows you to purchase and download books, magazines, and newspapers on your
NOOKcolor, as well as from the Barnes & Noble Web site.
The account also allows you to synchronize your NOOKcolor with any other NOOK eReaders you have, such as
NOOK eReader software applications installed on your tablet (such as an iPad® or an iPod touch), PC, or smart-
phone (such as an iPhone® or an Android phone).
If you don’t have a Barnes & Noble account, you can set one up in a few minutes on the NOOKcolor Web site. Just
open a browser on your computer, and visit the page: www.nookcolor.com/setup. You’ll also have the opportunity
to set up an account during the registration process for your NOOKcolor.
Your Barnes & Noble account is ready for use once you have set up the following:
• An email address
• A default credit card number
• A valid expiration date for the credit card
• A current U.S. billing address
If you have any questions about setting up an account, please call Customer Service at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-
843-2665).
