The slots on the sides of the Nook eReader offer leverage to open the case. Use your fingernails or a flathead screwdriver to pop the plastic cover off the back of the device. The tabs are delicate, so don’t apply too much force.

Insert a New Battery Into the Nook eReader
To install the new battery, place it in the slot with the Barnes & Noble logo facing outward. Align the bottom portion of the battery to the appropriate connectors and push in the battery.
When the battery is in the slot, secure it with the screw.
