Manage Content for a Profile
Share Content
The same content can be shared by multiple
profiles. Each profile will need to download the
content independently to access it.
For example, if the Primary Profile owns a particular
NOOK Book and grants another profile access to
it, the book will appear in the other profile’s Library
with a download icon, indicating that the book is
available for download. To read the book, the other
profile simply has to tap its cover to download it to
the profile’s storage area on your NOOK.
Annotations, such as notes and highlights, are
specific to a profile. If one profile makes notes and
highlights in a book, they will not be visible to other
profiles reading the same book.
Similarly, if two profiles own the same book,
their reading positions in the book are tracked
independently. If one profile reads to page 17 and
the other profile reads to page 25, each profile
will be taken to his or her most recently read page
when the book is reopened. The first profile will be
returned to page 17; the second profile to page 25.
Assign Content to Other Profiles
The primary profile can assign content to adult
profiles and child profiles. An adult profile can
assign content to child profiles.
