C Adams replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion NookColor Concerns"I don't think settings can be locked, as far as I know. I know what you mean by the "erase and deregister" setting being available. It all comes to down to how much you trust the students who are checking out.
If you…"
Will DeLamater replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Free downloads from public library"Karen, students can download ePub files from the library and load them using USB onto the Nook Color. I don't think they have the ability to load wirelessly. They will need Adobe Digital Editions on the computer they are using to download and…"
Will DeLamater replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion NookColor Concerns"Karen, great questions. You might want to send out a message to the Nook Group so they will all see your questions. Paula O'Rourke up in MA is doing something similar. You might want to DM her through the Ning. If I find any answers I will let…"
Karen Kliegman replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Setting Up Nook accounts/purchasing ebooks in the group Nook Users"Hey everyone:
Is there a way to prevent students from getting into SETTINGS on the NOOK? I am afraid that they will get in and erase the NOOK! Also, is there a way to stop automatic sample downloads from B&N?"
Allison Long replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Setting Up Nook accounts/purchasing ebooks in the group Nook Users"Have you contacted Barnes and Nobles? Our local store has an education rep. and they will accept only PO's which I like. They load the Nooks so no credit card, etc can be used on the school purchased Nooks."
Crystal Brunelle replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Setting Up Nook accounts/purchasing ebooks in the group Nook Users"I was told that they will do that as long as you have at least 25 Nooks in the district.

Mary Shrader replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Setting Up Nook accounts/purchasing ebooks in the group Nook Users"You can now do a Purchase Order to purchase e-books through Barnes & Noble. They will manage your accounts for you, putting the e-books on the nooks per your specifications. They will set up an e-book account using POs. "
Crystal Brunelle replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Setting Up Nook accounts/purchasing ebooks in the group Nook Users"I purchased a prepaid Visa. I used a purchase order for a gift card. Our district has a gift card policy. We use the card and then we have to turn in a list of all purchased with the card (we have a form for this) and turn it in…"

Thanks,Joan

Joan Holopoff replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Setting Up Nook accounts/purchasing ebooks"Hi Paula,
I have assisted local districts in setting up large nook accounts. We purchased one Visa Green dot prepaid card and used that to set up all of the accounts. The prepaid cards are functional, you just have to go to the website…"
Laurie Aldern replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Setting Up Nook accounts/purchasing ebooks"Hi Paula, I replied in detail to your inbox. You can de-select the default credit card anytime and use B&N gift cards for purchases. Let me know how it goes."
Paula O'Rourke replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Setting Up Nook accounts/purchasing ebooks"Laurie,
Management at my local Barnes & Noble store insisted that I use a credit card with a physical address - so I used my own. The reason given was that the prepaid credit cards are anonymous and the system would be looking for a…"
Becky Miller replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Setting Up Nook accounts/purchasing ebooks"Our high school has a relationship with a community bank which agreed to issue us a credit card with a 100.00 limit. This has worked well for us."
Karen Kliegman replied to Karen Kliegman's discussion Setting Up Nook accounts/purchasing ebooks"I worked with our local B&N - they allowed me to use a purchase order for the exact amount of the ebooks and will then issue me a gift card. My business office is OK with this. Still haven't tried switching the account to an amex gift card.…"
