How Do I Delete Apps Off My Nook Tablet? 102 Most Correct Answers

If your Barnes & Noble Nook e-book reader suddenly freezes and stops responding to your commands, you may need to force restart or restart. Restarting the Nook won’t delete any of your books or reset the device’s settings. However, all your unsaved work will be lost if you force restart the Nook.

The built-in internal memory of 2 GB that NOOK comes with holds an average of 1500 eBooks. However, you can also upgrade with an external micro SD card, so you can take your entire library with you so you can read what you love, wherever you want!

Buying and reading books on your Nook is easy enough, but navigating the interface and grabbing goodies (like free library books) requires some guidance.

After spending some time with my Simple Touch, I’ve collected the 10 most useful tips you’ve probably missed while immersed in the latest A Game of Thrones chapter.

1. Customize the screensaver

Watch the video to learn how you can easily turn any photo from the web or your personal collection into a personalized screensaver for your Nook.

2. Use the hidden “back” gesture

Simply swipe the black top bar from right to left to return to the previous page.

3. Look up hyphenated words

Still ignored by Barnes & Noble is the inability to highlight and look up hyphenated words in the dictionary – for some reason the Nook doesn’t allow them to be selected. There’s no permanent solution, but if you see a hyphenated work that you want to define, tap the center of the screen, choose Text, and turn on Publisher Defaults. When you’ve looked up the word, return to your preferred text settings.

4. Quickly access Wi-Fi

To turn Wi-Fi on or off, tap the time (clock) in the upper right corner of the screen and select or clear the check box.

5. Organize your library with shelves

Tap the “n” button, then tap “Library” and select “Shelves” from the drop-down menu on the left. Tap on “Add a shelf”, give it a name and check the boxes next to the books you want to add.

6. Archive books

To remove books from the library, you can archive them. Go to your library on your Nook, double-tap a book title, and select “Archive.” You can view (and revive) archived tracks by selecting “Archive” from the drop-down menu on the main Library screen.

7. Make a wish list

While browsing the store, mark all the books you want by checking the box next to “Wish List”. You can view your choices later by tapping “My Wishlist” from the main store screen.

8. Check out the library’s e-books

9. Have a friend borrow a book

Any book in your library with a LendMe badge can be loaned to a friend for free for 14 days.

Go to the library on your Nook and tap “LendMe” next to the eligible book. Tap With Contacts > Next > Select a contact > Add a contact. Enter the recipient’s name and email address. There is no need to invite the person as a Nook friend.

After adding the contact, tap your friend’s name in the contacts list and you’ll have the option to compose a quick message before sending the book.

10. Get free e-books

Give your wallet a break by grabbing a book from one of the many free e-book resources online. Check out the full list here.

With NOOK for iPad and iPhone you can easily delete or archive books from your library. Simply touch and hold a cover on the NOOK® library screen and select the archive or delete button on the product details screen to archive or delete the book.

Please note: archiving an item will remove the file from your device and move the item to the archive folder in your NOOK® library in the cloud. Unarchive the item to re-download it to your device.

If you delete an item from your NOOK library, it will be permanently removed from the cloud. You will no longer have access to the item wherever you read NOOK titles, including all NOOK reading apps and NOOK devices, and this cannot be undone. We recommend archiving an item in case you want to download it again later.

You can uninstall apps that you have installed on your phone. If you remove an app you paid for, you can reinstall it later without purchasing it again. You can also disable system apps that came with your phone.

Disable apps that came with your phone

You cannot delete some system apps that came preinstalled on your Android phone. However, some phones allow you to turn them off so they don’t appear in the list of apps on your phone. Contact your device manufacturer to learn how to disable apps.

Bloatware doesn’t sound pleasant, but it’s a rather mild condition: it’s those apps that come pre-installed on your smartphone, which you definitely didn’t ask for and probably don’t want either. They are often used by manufacturers to push their own apps and services in addition to (or instead of) what the smartphone offers by default.

The term was originally used to refer to Windows computers, which can come with a long list of third-party utilities and software suites on top of Windows itself, depending on who you bought the computer from. The situation has improved in recent years, but even today you can open a brand new Windows laptop and run trial versions of half a dozen different apps, utilities, antivirus and office tools.

While the vast majority of bloatware doesn’t actually do anything harmful, these unwanted apps take up storage space and system resources that could be used by apps you actually want to use. They can also be confusing and leave you with multiple apps on your phone all doing the same job.

For security and privacy reasons, it’s a good idea to remove bloatware apps that you don’t use. How you do this depends on the phone you are using.

How to remove bloatware on Android

Bloatware is a much more common problem on Android phones since there are so many more phone manufacturers releasing Android devices. In some cases, you’ll find yourself with a dozen apps or more that you don’t really want or need (although the makers themselves will be keen for you to try them).

To remove an app from your Android phone, bloatware, or whatever, open Settings and select Apps and notifications, then See all apps. If you’re sure you can do without something, select the app and then select Uninstall to remove it.

In some cases, you can’t completely remove an app due to the way the manufacturer integrated it into their own version of Android. If that’s the case, look for an option labeled Disable rather than Uninstall – this will at least prevent the app from running, consuming vital system resources, and getting in your way.

Barnes & Noble’s The Nook stores any eBooks you buy from them, as well as any eBooks from the library or other downloads. However, you cannot accommodate all the books in the world and sometimes you need to make some space. Strangely, there’s no way to do this on the Nook itself, but there are a few options available online and through your computer.

A few notes before we begin:

– You must use the USB option described below for books not received through your B&N account.

– If you delete a purchased book instead of archiving it, you will have to buy the book a second time if you want to read it in the future.

Alright, let’s start:

Barnes and Noble Online

1. Sign in to your Barnes and Noble online account. Click on “My Account” in the top right menu. From the drop-down store, look for “My Nook Library” and select that.

2. Find the book you want to remove in the library list. Click Delete. This should be under the Download link.

3. If you want it to be completely deleted, click “Delete” when the website asks you to confirm deletion instead of archiving it.

On the computer

1. Plug the USB cable into the Nook and the other end into your computer.

2. Go to “My Computer”. You can either use the desktop icon – if there is one, or click the “Start” button on the taskbar and find it in the menu. Under “My Computer,” find the drive listed for your Nook.

3. Locate the book file that you want to delete. Right-click the book and choose Delete. The book should be gone now. To check this, unplug the Nook from your computer.

If you’re looking for a tablet that’s built for reading by hand, but want access to some extra features like email, children’s books, magazines, comics, a web browser, apps, Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, and a few games, then this is it the case is for you. The Nook Tablet 16GB is a significantly better tablet than the Nook Color and puts the Kindle Fire to shame in terms of performance. For $250 you can’t get any better than this right now. Things are always changing, but for now, Barnes & Noble’s Nook Tablet is still a compelling, competitive e-reader tablet.
