There are dozens of reasons why people might want to call Barnes & Noble to discuss their Nook product. It might be to see if there are security updates for the older products or to learn more about the newest Nook. I personally had a question about how to upgrade my app so that I can transfer my older books and digital purchases to the newer Nook. I like to be prepared in advance, so I thought now was a good time to call them.
I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get ahold of a live person at Nook Support. With that in mind, I would encourage anyone who has a question to go ahead and call Nook to get a quick answer.
The first time I tried was a little after 9 pm EST, and I quickly learned that they don't offer 24/7 support. This isn't that unexpected given that Nook isn't a major company nor a cutting-edge product that can't wait until the morning for technical support. Still, 9 pm seemed a little early to me, especially during the summer months. Since there was nothing else I could do, I waited until the morning to call.
The morning passed by, and I found myself calling at 6 pm EST, which turned out to be a sweet spot. I'm not sure if it is because people are eating dinner, but the line was pretty wide open and I got to a customer service agent quickly.
When I called, I was greeted nicely by a recorded message that told me to press one to talk about membership, two to check on order status, three for account and billing, and four for Nook and eBook. As soon as I heard the Nook option, I quickly pressed it and was sent immediately to a hold line.
A recording informed me that the wait time was less than three minutes, and then jazzy music started to play. It didn't even take three minutes; I was talking to someone in less than a minute. The agent spoke clear English and was very pleasant to work with. She answered all of my questions and even gave me some updates about the new Nook and what to expect, which was very helpful. I would not think twice about calling the service line in the future if I had any issues with the Nook.

GetHuman does not provide call center services or customer support operations for Nook. The two organizations are not related. GetHuman builds free tools, researches information, and shares tips and tricks from other consumers to help customers of companies like Nook. That can include tools such as our GetHuman Phone, which allows you to call a company but skip the part where you wait on the line to get a live human rep, or talk to a company's customer service operation for you. GetHuman believes that this fills an important gap between fragmented support models, makes the customer care experience more uniform, and even answers questions that businesses and agencies are reluctant to answer (but shouldn't be) - making the customer experience less confusing for all. We continue to work on these tools to help customers like you (and ourselves!) navigate the messy phone menus, hold times, and confusion with customer service. As long as you keep sharing it with others, we'll keep improving it.
