Classic Deleting pre-loaded content?

BookJunkieLI · 07-28-2010, 04:55 PM

Does anyone know how to download the free books that came with the Nook?
Mine had Little Women, Dracula, and something else that I can't remember off the top of my head. I wouldn't care that they're on there except that I've softrooted my Nook and apparently each of those books has about 20 different tags making what should have been a fairly short list of tags for my sideloaded content an extremely long list.

The title says "deleting", the question asks about "how to download". Which do you want?

Either way, log into your B&N account from a Web browser. Go to your digital library. From there you can "archive" the e-books you don't want, or download them if that's what you wanted to do.

After archiving, do a "Check for new B&N Content" to synchronize up to your B&N account, and the archived e-books should get removed from the NOOK.

and hopefully the next firmware lets you delete from the device which you should be able to do.

Hi, thanks for the info. I'm not quite sure where my head was but I did mean how to delete them. I'll give the archiving a shot and hope it works.
