NOOK NOOK Video
TM
NOOK Video™ is a streaming and download service
that allows you to rent movies and purchase movies
and TV shows for viewing on your NOOK. NOOK
Video offers a wide variety of popular movies and TV
shows.
NOOK Video supports both streaming and
downloading content. When you purchase or rent
a movie, you need to select how you will access
it: streaming or downloading. Unlike books and
periodicals, videos do not download automatically
when purchased.
Streaming means that the content is delivered over
an active Wi-Fi connection. You must be connected
to a Wi-Fi Internet connection to watch streamed
content. Streaming videos does not require any
storage on your NOOK.
Note: When streaming content, it’s best to have to a
strong Wi-Fi connection.
Download Videos
Downloading means that you transfer the NOOK
Video content over a Wi-Fi connection to your
NOOK just as you download other content like
books and magazines. Once you have downloaded
a NOOK Video, you can watch it any time regardless
of whether or not your NOOK is connected to Wi-Fi
(though rented content must be watched within the
rental period, as described below). Unlike streamed
videos, downloaded videos do consume storage on
your NOOK.
If you plan to download many videos, you should
consider purchasing a microSD card to give your
NOOK extra storage.
To configure your NOOK to download video content
to an SD card, rather than to internal storage:
1. From a Home screen, tap
Apps >
NOOKSettings.
2. Tap Video.
3. Tap Video Download Location to enable.
Note: Downloading videos may take some time.
The speed of the download will depend on the
length of the video and the bandwidth of your Wi-Fi
network. If you are planning to download a movie to
watch it offline (for example, in a location without a
Wi-Fi network, such as in a car or on a plane), we
recommend that you connect your NOOK to a power
source and begin downloading the movie as soon as
you have purchased or rented it.
Rent Movies
You can rent movies on your NOOK.
Once you rent an item, you have 30 days to begin
watching it.
Once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to
finish watching it before the rental expires. You can
watch the item as many times as you like within that
24-hour period.
You can stream an item to begin watching it right
away, or you can download an item to begin
watching it within the 30-day rental period.
Note: You may download a rented movie to only
one device during the rental period, so be sure to
download only on the device on which you intend to
watch the movie. In contrast, you may stream movies
on all authorized NOOK devices during the rental
period. You may authorize up to five devices through
your NOOK account.
