Buying a Book

Once you’re in the Shop, you can buy any book you see that has a green button displaying the book’s price. (If you 
don’t see a green button with a price next to a particular book, it’s because you’ve already purchased the book. A 
gray label reading 

Purchased

 appears where the price button used to be.)

To buy a book, do this:

1.  To buy a book, tap on the green button displaying a price next to the book’s cover or title. 

The Shop replaces the price button with a button labeled 

Confirm

.

2.  Tap the 

Confirm 

button. 

What happens next depends on how you’ve customized your Shop. If you’re using the default set-up, your 
NOOK begins downloading the book once you tap 

Confirm

. If you’ve set up your Shop to require that your B&N 

Account password be entered every time anyone makes a purchase on your NOOK, a dialog box opens. Tap in 
the 

Password

 field and enter the password for your B&N Account. Tap 

OK

.

NOTE:   You can configure your NOOK to prompt you for a password before you make a purchase. To set up 

your NOOK to require a password, visit Settings and open the Shop settings page.

To go ahead and purchase the item, click Buy.

To cancel the transaction without buying, tap the X in the upper right hand corner of the window. This closes the 
window without completing the purchase.

What Happens When You Buy an Item in the Shop?

When you buy a book, magazine, newspaper, comic, graphic novel, or app, it begins downloading to your NOOK.

•  The item also appears in your Library.

•  A badge saying “New” appears on item’s cover. This badge will disappear once you open the item.

•  If an item is still in the process of downloading, a progress bar appears on its cover, indicating the amount of 

content that remains to be downloaded.
