Borrowing an eBook on a NOOK
This section is written from the viewpoint of you receiving a notification about a lending
oer. It applies equally to others with registered NOOKs receiving lending oers.
Rules
Here are some rules regarding borrowing eBooks from your NOOK:
You can only borrow on a registered NOOK.
The Barnes & Noble online account to which your NOOK is registered must have a default
credit card and billing information defined.
You can borrow an eBook from anywhere with supported wireless connectivity (including Wi-Fi
hotspots outside of the United States, U.S. territories, and Canada)
You can borrow an eBook for which you have a free sample.
You cannot borrow an eBook that you already own.
Notification that Lending Oer Will Expire Soon
If a friend oers to lend you a book, you receive a lending oer notification among the notifications
in The Daily. You have seven calendar days to accept or decline the oer. At the beginning of the
seventh day, you receive a warning that the lending oer will expire today At the beginning of the
eighth calendar day, the lending oer expires.
When viewing a lending oer notification, Yes, Borrow This and No, Thank You are choices in the
menus. You do not need to navigate to the original lending oer notification.
Expiration of a Lending Oer
If you receive a lending oer and neither accept nor decline the oer before the end of the seventh
calendar day, the oer expires. The notification remains in The daily, but it cannot be accepted or
declined. You receive an additional notification informing you that the lending oer has expired.
Declining a Lending Oer
When you receive a lending oer on your NOOK, you can accept the oer and borrow the eBook,
or you can decline the oer.
Why decline a lending oer if it will expire automatically after 7 days? Because until you
decline the oer or it expires, your friend cannot read the eBook or make the lending oer
to someone else.
