The Barnes & Noble Nook (styled nook or NOOK) is a brand of e-readers developed by American book retailer Barnes & Noble,[1] based on the Android platform. The original device was announced in the United States in October 2009, and was released the next month.[2] The original Nook had a six-inch E-paper display and a separate, smaller color touchscreen that serves as the primary input device and was capable of Wi-Fi and AT&T 3G wireless connectivity.[3] The original nook was followed in November 2010 by a color LCD device called the Nook Color, in June 2011 by the Nook Simple Touch,[4] and in November 2011 and February 2012 by the Nook Tablet.[5][6] On April 30, 2012, Barnes & Noble entered into a partnership with Microsoft that will spin off the Nook and college businesses into a subsidiary.[7] On August 28, 2012, Barnes and Noble announced partnerships with retailers in the UK, which began offering the Nook digital products to people in October 2012.[8][9] In December 2014, B&N purchased the Microsoft shares of Nook, ending the partnership between the companies.
To encourage visiting the B&N stores, a Nook device user may read nearly any available Nook Store e-book for one hour once per day while connected to the store's Wi-Fi.[10]

Naming
The Nook name was devised by Rex Wilder while consulting for Ammunition Design Group. The name was among over 400 he created, and "Nook" was picked because it is an evolution from "book", it echoes some of the prose in Dr. Seuss's One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish and it is humble and old-fashioned sounding.[11] It also represents a familiar place to read that is compelling for women readers who tend to read more than men.[12]

Nook e-reader applications for third party devices
Barnes & Noble provides free e-reader applications to permit reading on devices other than Nooks. Selections include Nook Reading Apps, Nook for Web and Nook Study.
Nook free reading applications
Barnes & Noble offers free applications for various platforms, with which to access Nook digital reading material:[40]
- For desktop and laptop computers:
- NOOK for Mac
- NOOK for PC
- NOOK for Windows 8 (US only)
- For smartphones and tablets:
- NOOK for Android
- NOOK for iPhone and iPad
Nook for Web
The Nook for Web is a cloud based web reader with the tagline: "Read Instantly on any browser".[41]
NookStudy and Yuzu
NookStudy
In August 2010, concurrently with introducing a web-based textbook rental service, Barnes and Noble - "one of the largest textbook retailers in the US"[42] - introduced the NOOK Study app "for the PC or Mac that lets users buy or rent e-book versions of their textbooks for use on the computer.[43] Mobileread describes Nook Study (sometimes styled "NookStudy" or "NOOK Study")[44][45] as "a free e‐textbook application from Barnes and Noble that provides a suite of digital study tools. It is available for Microsoft Windows and Apple's Mac OS X."[46] Nook Study cannot be used on Nook e‐readers; rather it is designed for use only on PCs, Macs, and iPads, and it permits one to read e-textbooks "on up to two (2) computers".[47]
Nook Study offers two categories of benefits: the ability to read ebooks and other content that is accessible via other eReading devices, and the ability to read e‐textbooks purchased from Barnes & Noble, which are meant to be read on one's computer via the Nook Study application. According to Barnes & Noble's NookStudy FAQs: "You cannot use your Nook or mobile device to read textbooks as the screens are too small to properly view the contents."[47]
In The Digital Reader, Nate Hoffelder describes capabilities possessed by Nook Study that render it superior to other e‐reading software for reading textbooks.[48] For example, he writes:
…you can do multiple types of annotations (highlight, asterisk, question) and you can do asterisks and questions in 7 different colors. You can also attach text notes as well as search Wikipedia, Google, Dictionary.com, Wolfram Alpha, and YouTube. And I just noticed that you can attach a link to the webpage you just found through the search. Attaching the link is not easy, but it can be done.
Now I’m really impressed. I love that I can search Dictionary.com, Wolfram Alpha, and YouTube. I think this might be the killer feature for NookStudy (like indexed search was for the Kindle).
Some of the other neat features include having multiple ebooks open in tabs, and a second TOC for annotations.
In an August 2, 2011, press release, BN College cited kudos publicized on NBC's Today Show and MSNBC.com that deemed NOOK Study "the "Coolest Digital Study Tool Around".[49] On the Today Show and in an MSNBC.com post, Wilson Rothman, Deputy Technology & Science Editor at MSNBC, had included NOOK Study in a list of 10 back-to-school tech survival tips to consider when shopping for college technology necessities, recommending: "NOOK Study is an essential back-to-school tool that students should consider when heading back to college – and may be the 'coolest digital study tool around.'"[50]
“Barnes & Noble may well have the coolest digital study tool around. Seriously, this free eTextbook application for PC and Mac lets you not only get books digitally, but organize coursework, compile syllabi and other documents, take notes, print, export and go online for related research. While the same warning about Amazon’s textbook rental program applies here — that your particular study materials might not be available — it’s certainly worth the $0.00 price to check it out, and the other features may end up being useful on their own.”
Yuzu
In April 2014, the Barnes & Noble website announced the Nook Study had been "replaced by Yuzu", which the company terms "the next-generation digital education platform from Barnes & Noble."[51][42] In April, NOOK Study had already been "retired", and a Beta version of Yuzu was introduced for the iPad and for Internet Explorer and Safari 6.1/7 browsers. Yuzu was formally rolled out that summer and made available to more browsers, and as an Android, iOS, and Windows app. However, the Nook Study site continued offering a link to the Nook Study program, explaining: "We understand that as a NOOK Study user, you may have some questions. On this page we will try to direct you to the appropriate websites to find what you are looking for."[52][53] Clicking "Get NookStudy Help" redirects one to the "NOOK Study Knowledge Base", where they can download the Nook Study app[54][55] as well as find answers to frequently asked questions.[56] Yuzu, like NOOKStudy, "offers students a next-generation reading and note-taking experience in a simple app, but it also improves on NookStudy by making it easier for educators to provide course materials"[57] by integrating with BN's college-focused website Faculty Enlight,[58] where educators can search for the textbooks and other academic material they need, assemble them into course packs, and then build a required and recommended reading list for a class.[59] Downsides of Yuzu, however, are: "Yuzu does not share the same accounts as the Nook Store or NookStudy"[60] and "Yuzu is not compatible with NookStudy textbooks".[61] Emily Price at Engadget made a similar observation: "With Yuzu, [NOOKStudy]'s being phased out, and sadly any pricey books you've already bought through that service are incompatible with the new app."[42]
Issues
Compatibility issues
Nook for Mac users have noted the app has compatibility issues with Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. While the application requires OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, many users have documented the performance issues under Mountain Lion (and consequently all Macs sold since July 2012).[62]
Locked file table
The file table on the Nook is locked, meaning that external programs, such as Calibre, cannot be used to automatically organize uploaded files. All organization must be undertaken on the device itself, one book at a time, and such organization cannot be backed up or saved elsewhere.[63]
Lending restrictions
A book can only be lent once through the Nook's LendMe program.[64][65]
Downloading of NOOK Store content
- Purchasing Barnes & Noble digital content and letting the credit card expire prevents re-downloading of the content until a valid credit card is entered into the account.[66][67] This is required because most downloads from Barnes & Noble have copy restrictions (DRM), and credit cards are required to unlock them.
- On September 17, 2014, Barnes & Noble removed the "download" button from many books in the My Nook online library, without advance warning. The removal of these buttons, which permitted readers to download copies of their ebooks and transfer that content to other apps or devices, upset numerous users. User complaints and inquiries, via telephone, email, online chats, and social media forums, yielded the following, standard B&N response:[68]
We're sorry, but the ability to sideload NOOK purchased content has been discontinued. We apologize for any inconvenience. — NOOK Customer Care (@NOOK_Care) September 17, 2014[69]
Spinoff of business
On June 25, 2014 Barnes & Noble announced that the Nook Media business would be spun off into an independent company.[70] On December 4, 2014, Barnes & Noble announced an end to its partnership with Microsoft connected to Nook. The company’s objective is to take the steps necessary to complete the separation by the end of the first quarter of 2015.[71]
