Connectivity
What is Wi-Fi®?
Wi-Fi is a generic term used to describe wireless Internet access. A Wi-Fi enabled device (such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or eReader) can connect wirelessly to the Internet if it is in range of a wireless network that is connected to the Internet. Wi-Fi enabled devices connect to the wireless network through access points (or hotspots). Access points can be public (such as at a library, restaurant, or bookstore), or can be private (such as at home, work, or school).
Public Wi-Fi access points usually don't require a password but instead require a user to acknowledge terms of use.
Private Wi-Fi access points usually are password protected. Home Internet connection services are usually provided by a cable or telephone company, and the Wi-Fi access is provided by a small device called a wireless router that is physically connected to the Internet.

What is a NOOK Friend?
A NOOK Friend is a friend who has a NOOK (or BN.com) account and an email address in your contacts list, and who has accepted your invitation to connect as a NOOK Friend. Friendship is reciprocal. When someone becomes your NOOK Friend, you also become his or her NOOK Friend. NOOK Friends can lend each other books, and they can request books from each other for loan.

We'll send your friend(s) an invitation with a link to connect so that they can become a NOOK Friend. All that is required is that they have a BN.com account.
