Here’s how:

With Nook for iPad, you can purchase, read and share Nook books. When you share a Nook book with the “Lend Me” feature, your friend has 7 days to accept the offer. Once he accepts the offer, your friend will have 14 days to read your book.

Launch the “App Store” on your iPad. Tap “Search” and type “Nook” in the search field. Select the “Nook” app by Barnes and Noble. Tap the “Free” button and enter your Apple ID password if prompted.

1. Make sure your NOOK Tablet’s WiFi system is enabled and the device is successfully connected to the Internet.
2. Press the ∩ button to display the quick nav bar.
3. Tap the Apps button.
4. Tap the Social button.
5. Tap NOOK Friends.
6. Tap the Borrow button next to the name of the book you want to read.

You can purchase new books for NOOK for iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch by visiting BN.com in your device’s web browser (Safari or other). NOOK Books purchased on BN.com will automatically sync to your NOOK iOS app and will be available in your NOOK Library.

Install the Cloud Library app on a Windows or Mac computer, download ebook titles to the CL app on a computer, then attach the NOOK to the computer with a USB cable and transfer the titles to the device. If you already have the CL app installed on a NOOK tablet or NOOK Color, it may continue to work for a while.

If you’re having difficulty downloading NOOK Books in the NOOK Reading App for Android, try the following: Access your Library and tap the Refresh/Sync icon in the at the upper right area of the screen. Add or select a default payment method on BN.com then try downloading your books again.

As mentioned, the only real downside to the Nook iOS app is that there’s no way to purchase books when you’re in the app. This is likely because of Apple’s App Store rules. Go to the Barnes & Noble website, find the book you want, and buy it. The book will then automatically appear on your device.

You do not need to have a NOOK account to start reading books using NOOK for Web. However, to purchase books, read complete books, and save samples to read later, a NOOK account is required.

If you enjoy books and read magazines free whenever you get time, Nook app is the best app for you. This free ebook reader is packed with features and lets you read free ebooks according to your preferences. It is a highly recommended app for all the book lovers, special using android devices.

The NOOK Audiobooks App is compatible with Apple’s iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch running iOS 7.0 and up, and all Android devices running Android Version 4.1 and up. For the most up-to-date version of the app, and its device requirements, please visit the Apple App Store, or Google Play Store.

You cannot directly transfer Nook books to Kindle because of the DRM limitation. So removing DRM is the first step. Besides, Kindle doesn’t support Nook formats, so you also need to convert Nook books to Kindle supported formats before transferring them to Kindle.

The Barnes & Noble Nook e-books and Amazon’s Kindle e-books use different formats, but dedicated users have shown it is possible to convert and read Nook books on an Amazon device. It can also involve breaking the built-in copyright protections — so read all the fine print to fully understand what is allowed.

The main difference between the Nook and the Kindle is the Nook is all touchscreen where the Kindle is not. This requires the reader to press a button to change the page versus being able to tap the screen to turn the page. Unlike the Kindle, the Nook does not support audio books.

Barnes & Noble announced Thursday that sales of Nook products plunged 61% this holiday season. The company blamed its poor sales on competition from Apple’s iPad and its own failure to release a new tablet.

With over 2 million titles to choose from, you’ve got a great selection of books to read. Who Should Buy It: If you want lots of choice in terms of titles, the Nook has it. B&N has more than twice the number of titles available as the Kindle.

Why? On the top ten most popular books, the NOOK books (from Barnes & Noble) are priced higher than the Kindle book (except for one one short story, where they are the same)…often much more. On average, more than $2.50 more! As much as $8 more…for one book.
