Using the LendMe™ Program
Lending and Borrowing Books
With Barnes & Noble’s exclusive LendMe™ technology, you can share NOOKbooks with any friend who has a
NOOKcolor, a NOOK, or a NOOK application, such as NOOK for iPhone®, NOOK for iPod touch®, and NOOK
for PC. All you need to know is your friend’s email address.
Share your favorite books with friends, family members, or with members of your book club, by lending many of
your books one time for 14 days.
When you use our LendMe™ technology, you cannot read a book while the lending oer is pending and while it is on
loan, but you always get it back.
Guidelines for Lending and Borrowing Books
Here are details about the LendMe program.
• You can lend only books that are in your Barnes & Noble Lifetime LIbrary. Your Lifetime Library holds all the
NOOKbooks that you have purchased. Not all books can be lent, though many can.
• You can only lend from a registered NOOKcolor to users of other registered NOOKcolors (or other registered
B&N eReader devices). You can send a lending oer to any email address, but to accept the oer, the other per-
son must have an email address associated with a Barnes & Noble online account and a NOOK or other B&N
eReader that supports lending.
• You can lend a book from anywhere with supported wireless connectivity (including Wi-Fi hotspots outside of
the United States, U.S. territories, and Canada)
• You can only lend a book one time. It only counts as the one time lending if your friend accepts the lending oer.
If the lending oer expires or your friend rejects the oer, you can still lend the book.
• When you oer to lend a book, the oer lasts for up to 7 days. The oer ends when your friend accepts the of-
fer or when 7 days have passed.
• A loan is for 14 calendar days, counting the day on which the lending oer is accepted. A lent book is automati-
cally returned at the beginning of the 15th calendar day (if the borrower has not returned it more quickly).
• When you lend a book, you temporarily lend the digital rights to the book. During the period when the lending
oer is pending and while the book is lent, you cannot read it. When the book is returned, you get the digital
rights back, and can read the book again.
• You cannot lend a book that has been lent to you.
• You cannot save a copy of a lent book to the microSD card.
• You cannot archive a book that has been lent to you.
Determining whether a Book Can Be Lent
Not all books can be lent. Please note the following about determining whether a book can be lent:
• Any book eligible for lending has a LendMe badge on its cover.
• If your Library includes any books eligible to be lent out, they will appear in a section of the Library that identifies
them as lendable.
