Removing the Password Requirement for Purchases

chase an item in the Shop without entering your password, do this:
1. On the Settings screen, tap Shop, Gift Card, and Credit Card.
2. Tap the line reading Require Password for Purchases.
A dialog box appears, prompting you to enter your password.
3. Tap on the password field in the dialog box to call up your NOOK’s online keyboard. Type your password, and
tap OK.
Managing the Credit Card for Your BN.com Account

1. On the Settings screen, tap Shop, Gift Card, and Credit Card.
2. On the Shop settings screen, tap Manage Credit Card.
