Barnes & Noble NOOK User Guide 57
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
NOOK, 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.
You cannot read a book while it is on loan or while a lending oer is pending, but you always get the book back once
it has been returned or when 14 days have passed.
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 lend only from a registered NOOK to users of other registered NOOKs (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 person
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-t ime lending if your friend accepts the lending of-
fer. 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.
• Once you have oered to lend the book, you cannot retract your oer.
• 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.
