Nook Color – Revert to Stock

There are many ways to dispose of your old Nook. The most environmentally friendly option is to give it away or sell it. Another option is for you to recycle it by dropping the device off at a nearby recycling center or UPS shipping facility. If you choose this method, be sure to remove any personal information from the device before shipping (as described in “How do I completely erase my Nook Tablet?” below). Recycling centers and UPS stores will not accept devices that still contain personal information. Visit http://www.nookcolorrecycle.com/ for a list of participating locations near you that accept eReaders for recycling or disposal. In addition, many electronic retailers such as Best Buy® also offer recycling services

If you don’t want to give away your Nook and prefer that the new owner access your information, then a factory reset will permanently delete all user data from your device.

If you’re giving or selling your old device, it’s important to remove all of your personal information from it before doing so. When you do a factory reset on most devices, only the system software is returned to its original state—the underlying operating system and any files created by other apps are still present on the device. You can use the following instructions to ensure that no personal information remains on the tablet:

Here you GO! HOW to root your NOOK HD and NOOK

From a Home screen touch Apps > Settings.On the ‘System’ settings page touch Security. 3) On the ‘Security settings page touch Factory Data Reset, then follow the on-screen instructions. 4) When you see the initial Factory data reset screen, select Erase everything to begin, and then touch OK.

Factory data reset returns your Nook Tablet back to its original state while deleting all user accounts as well as any personal information stored on it. Keep in mind that doing a factory data reset will remove any personal files (such as photos or documents) you have created or transferred to your tablet yourself since setting up the device and they cannot be recovered. This action is final and non-reversible.

If you would like to return your Nook for a refund, you may return it at any time up to 14 days after the date of purchase. You can find more information about doing so at http://www.nook.com/returns/

Additionally, if you are outside of the original return period and not satisfied with your Nook, you may want to consider selling or giving away the device in order to recoup some of your cost. To ensure that no personal information remains on the tablet before giving or selling it, we suggest performing a factory data reset as described above (in “How do I completely erase my Nook Tablet?”).

We are always working to create newer and better devices, so we no longer make software updates or provide support for the NOOK Color. If you have an older model NOOK Color™, there is a chance that your device could become slower over time and eventually stop working altogether. The best way to keep this from happening is to upgrade to one of our newer devices.

We have many new e-readers and tablets available that can offer the latest features, a continuously improving operating system, faster page-turning speed, and better resolution.

If you would like to properly dispose of your NOOK Color device, we recommend returning it to us for recycling. To do so please visit http://www.nookcolorrecycle.com/. You may also return it at any time up to 14 days after the date of purchase (see “What if I want to return my Nook?” above).

If you are outside of the original return period or not satisfied with your NOOK Color™ at this time, you may want to consider selling or giving away the device in order to recoup some of your costs. To ensure that no personal information remains on the tablet before giving or selling it, we suggest performing a factory data reset as described above (in “How do I completely erase my Nook Tablet?”).

We recommend upgrading to one of our other devices including a newer e-reader or tablet to take advantage of a faster processor, higher-resolution display, and more storage space for reading content. Additionally, you will get access to all of the latest features, the continuously improving operating system, and free access to thousands of books through the NOOK eBookstore. We also offer many apps like games and productivity tools that are not available on older versions.
