Password Protect individual books

[bigminnow]

Is there anyway to require a password to access an individual book on my nook.  I have children and they love to pick up my nook and my wife's nook color and read.  However, I have some books that are not appropriate for children and am constantly looking over their shoulder to make sure they are not accessing them.  Is there a way to put a password on an individual book so that my kids can't access my "adult" content?

not on individual books

but you can put a password for your nook device itself (settings > device > then scroll down)

I was wondering the same thing! or atleast if you could put them on a shelf or in a folder that your could password protect. I really have the same problem with my children and the only option right now is to not let them use it, which is really inconvenient! I certainly hope this is a part of a future update!

Nope.   Don't buy books you're ashamed of...that'll solve the issue.

If you have "adult" content on your nook, and don't want your children to read them, put them on a "don't read kids" shelf (or some such) and tell your kids they may NOT read anything on that shelf.   Then MONITOR the usage of your nook.   WATCH what they do.   If they violate your rules, remove their privledges to use the nook.

It's called parental responsibility.   

What did you do when you had paper adult books or magazines in the house, lock them up, or put them somewhere and tell your kids not to go there?

And, depending on the age of your kids....do you really thing they never looked there?

With respect, the answer to the question (which I also had) is: "Nope." 

The condescending parenting advice you added - evidently the sole purpose of your post, as the question had been answered - was neither solicited nor appropriate.

Previous post was over a year and a half old, so there's not a big chance anyone was still watching for a reply.

But since you are now obviously paying attention:

Publications could be downloaded to a computer and sideloaded to an optional micro SD card. When the kids are allowed to use the nook the card containing the adult content could be removed from the reader. To prevent the kids from retrieving archived inappropriate content bought from B&N, it might be a good idea to create a second account for the kid friendly material, sideloading any kid friendly material bought on the original account to the reader's built in memory. Of course the reader should be set to require a password to purchase material, for financial control as well as content management.

My parents instilled a love of reading in me.  They have several hundred books on their shelves and we spent time at the library every week.  But, my parents always knew what I was reading.  There were books on their shelves they didn't want me to read, and I stayed away from them until I was older.

It was at least as appropriate as YOUR answer.
