How to Download a Movie on a Nook
The first Barnes and Noble Nook Tablet Reader debuted in 2009 as an ereader for viewing books, magazines and newspapers on a black-and-white screen. The device has been updated several times and now features a full-color screen that allows users to use the Internet for video streaming and email as well. Users can even download pictures and movies from a PC or Mac computer to the device with a USB cable for viewing on the Nook's 7-inch screen.
