one account for two nook colors?

zeroh · 12-26-2010, 03:33 PM

Does anyone know if you can use one account on two nook colors? My nephew and niece both got one for Christmas and they normally read the same book. Now, it seems they would need to buy it twice for ebooks instead of taking turns with physical books. I was thinking they could alleviate that need by using the same account. Would this be possible?

Yes. Just as with regular Nooks, when you activate the device, you can use the same email address for both. I have two eInk Nooks and one Nookcolor activated under the same account. All books and magazines purchased will appear on both devices.

Remember though that BN accounts usually have credit cards attached on file, so you'll want to put some restrictions in place for that.

Zeroh, you can set up a password for purchasing. They can go as far as picking
things out but when it comes time to charge it, they're required to type the
password.

Edit: You setup the password on the Nook itself.

Thanks. I forgot about that.
