is a B&B-Nook account transferable ?

[xternalfixator]

today i bought my dad a nook 3g which i'll give him on saturday

in the meantime i want to set it up first so that i can learn
a little about how it works before i give it to him,
so i can show him how it works -

im talking about a 90yo guy who might enjoy an e-book
but may have difficulty learning it on his own

this means i have to set up an email account and cc info first
in my name in order to get started

so my question is, after he gets it and if he decides he wants
to keep it, can he eventually transfer all the email, account & cc info etc
into his own name ?

thx

I set up two nooks for friends. For one I made an account for her. I used her email and made my own password, then I just told her the password so she could then change it and add her credit card info. If you put your credit card in the account, you can just change it after or delete it right before giving it to him.

For my second friend I set up a dummy account and she then unregistered and then re-registered with her own account.

What a great gift to give to your dad!

hey thanks for that, that alone was worth the price !!!
and he loves to read - a couple of months ago he gave me
a copy of catcher in the rye telling me he's read it over a dozen times

he's kind of amazing because he still works in a high pressure job
and, finds the time to read - i think he'll like it

All you'd have to do is de-register the nook and re-register it under his own B&N account. The problem is the stuff purchased. It would be purchased under YOUR account and would therefore stay there. I suggest creating him an email and B&N account with your card and then later switching the card. He won't need the account info unless there's a problem, so perhaps write it down or keep it available to him.

That is true. I had bought a couple books for my friend and when she tried to open them I was with her so I added in my email and credit card number attached to my B&N account when prompted. Jedifarfy's way is probably easier though, unless you need your own B&N account.
