Using NOOK Study Apps on PC and Mac

NOOK Study is an app for the laptop or desktop developed by Barnes & Noble for reading and marking textbooks while at the same time prepping for tests, papers, and so on. Although intended for students, the NOOK Study app is a useful, feature-rich program. For PC users, you do not need both apps, though having both doesn’t cause any problems.

Following are the feature highlights. (The NOOK Study app for both the PC and Mac are essentially identical, so the focus is on the PC version for the rest of this section.)

• Syncing with your online library.

• Viewing multiple books at once and dual-book view.

• Customizable courses, which is a fancy way to say, “You can organize your books into categories.”

• Enhanced note and lookup features.
