more. If it is not, charge your
NOOK

to your Computer” on page 148.

and find the update file.

Click on the file in the browser, which will display an option to save the file. Save the update file
to the top of the main
NOOK
USB drive (which is named
nook

and then drag and drop it onto the nook drive. Wait for the file transfer to complete.

Eject/unmount the nook drive (and supplemental drive if you have one). Your
NOOK

recognize the file and begin the update process. Do not turn off your

restarted.
Update Stages
The update process has several stages:
Wireless Download
Some software updates are downloaded wirelessly. During the download, you can continue using
your
NOOK
.
If a download does not complete, for example, because the wireless connection is lost, your
NOOK
attempts to continue the download the next time it synchronizes.
Preparation
After an update is downloaded wirelessly or transferred to your
NOOK
via USB, your
NOOK
prepares for installation. During this process, your
NOOK
displays a
Preparing update
message in
the lower right corner of the reading screen, along with a percentage complete. You can continue
to use your
NOOK
, but the installation process will start soon.
Installation
After the preparation stage, your
NOOK
installs the update. While it installs the update, your
NOOK
displays a message on the reading screen that indicates it is doing so. During this stage and the next
one, you cannot use your
NOOK
.
If the installation fails for some reason, for example, if the battery charge is critically low, your
NOOK
will try the installation again the next time it is powered on.
