Determining Whether an eBook Can Be Lent
Not all eBooks can be lent. Please note the following about determining whether an eBook can be
lent:
• The shopfront in the Shop on your NOOK has a collection called LendMe eBooks. Select that to
view a selection of eBooks that can be lent. (This is not all lendable eBooks.)
• For eBooks that you have purchased, when browsing the My B&N Library section of your
library, a LendMe™ badge is present to the right of the eBook title. The badge indicates that
you can lend the eBook.
• LendMe™ badges are present when you are browsing and searching for eBooks in the
eBookstore on the BN.com website. When you navigate to the details page for an eBook by
clicking on the title, the badge is located below the cover image if that eBook title can be lent.
• LendMe™ badges are present in your eBooks library on the BN.com website. If you can lend an
eBook, a LendMe™ badge is present below the date added. Click the badge to lend the eBook.
