Watching TV Shows and Films on Your NOOK
NOOK Video
NOOK Video™ is a streaming and download service that allows you to rent films and purchase films and TV shows
for viewing on your NOOK. NOOK Video oers a wide variety of popular films and TV shows.
NOOK Video supports both streaming and downloading content. When you purchase or rent a film, you need to
select how you will access it: streaming or downloading. Unlike books and periodicals, videos do not download auto-
matically 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.
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 stor-
age.
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 film to watch it of-
fline (for example, in a location without a Wi-Fi network, such as in an automobile or on an aeroplane),
we recommend that you connect your NOOK to a power source and begin downloading the film as
soon as you have purchased or rented it.
Renting Films
You can rent films 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 film to only one device during the rental period, so be sure to download
only on the device on which you intend to watch the film. In contrast, you may stream films on all
authorised NOOK devices during the rental period. You may authorise up to five devices through your
NOOK account.
