1. Make sure that your Nook is turned off and unplugged.

2. Remove the back cover.

3. Place the Nook face down on a flat surface, with its top on the bottom.

4. Locate the screw and tab that holds the battery. They are at the top of the Nook.

5. Unscrew and remove the screw. Make sure that you put the screw somewhere safe so you don’t lose it. 

6. Put your finger nail in the space at the upper left of the battery to take it out. 

7. Press down against the top of the battery toward the bottom of the Nook. Move your finger upward. The top part of the battery should come out of the slot. Pull the battery out.

8. Insert the new battery by putting the two tabs at the bottom edge of the battery into the matching slots at the bottom edge of the battery compartment. Make sure that the battery lays flat. 

9. Replace the screw. 

10. Replace the back cover.

The best free VPNs for 2026

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well. 

Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.
