Nook Simple Touch Screensaver Instructions

Do you enjoy downloading e-books from the library on your Nook? Why don't you try downloading screensavers for your Nook from the library! Installing screensavers is easy - Select the image(s) you want below and save it to your computer. Now plug in your Nook to your computer via usb. Open the Nook folder. In the "screensavers" folder, create a new folder with any name. Add the images to the new folder — if you add multiple images your Nook will cycle through them! Now, eject and disconnect your Nook. On the Nook, go to Settings > Screen > Screensaver and you should see your new folder.

Desktop wallpaper is an image used as the background on your computer screen. Choose the image you want below (select the appropriate link for your screen resolution). When the image loads, click on the image with the right mouse button and select Set as Background and the image will be set as your new wallpaper.
