Lending eBooks
With LendMe™ technology from Barnes & Noble, you can now share eBooks from NOOK to
NOOK. But it doesn’t stop there. You can lend to and from any device with the Barnes & Noble
eReader application, including iPhone® and iPod touch®, BlackBerry® smartphones, and most
Windows® and Mac® laptops and desktop computers. All you need to know is your friend’s email
address.
Share your favorite eBooks with friends, family members, or with members of your book club, by
lending many of your eBooks one time for 14 days.
When you use our LendMe™ technology, you cannot read an eBook while the lending oer is
pending and while it is on loan, but you always get it back.
Rules
Here are some rules regarding lending eBooks:
• You can only lend eBooks that are in your online digital library. Not all eBooks can be lent
(though many can).
• You can only lend from a registered NOOK to users of other registered NOOKs (or other
registered B&N eReader devices). You can send a lending oer to any email address, but to
accept the oer, 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 an eBook from anywhere with supported wireless connectivity (including Wi-Fi
hotspots outside of the United States, U.S. territories, and Canada)
• You can only lend an eBook one time.
It only counts as the one time lending if your friend accepts the lending oer. If the lending
oer expires or your friend rejects the oer, you can still lend the eBook.
• A loan is for 14 calendar days, counting the day on which the lending oer is received. A lent
eBook is automatically returned at the beginning of the 15th calendar day (if the borrower has
not returned it more quickly).
• When you lend an eBook, you temporarily lend the digital rights to the eBook. During the
period when the lending oer 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 an eBook that has been lent to you.
• You cannot save a copy of a lent eBook to the microSD card.
• You cannot archive an eBook that has been lent to you.
