Lend/Return Books
There are some books that Barnes & Noble classifies as “lendable”, which
means that those books can be loaned to others who also have a Barnes &
Noble account.
Please be aware of the following considerations before loaning or borrowing any
books:
In order to unlock and open a loaned book, the recipient must use their
name and credit card number that is registered with their Barnes & Noble
account.
The book can only be loaned for 14 days.
Only one copy of a book can be read at a time. Therefore, you won’t have
access to the book until after it has been returned from the recipient.
You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network before you can use the
Lend/Return Books function.
When present, the number that appears with the Lend/Return icon indicates
new activity within this feature.
After launching the Lend/Return feature, a window appears. The number
behind Return books indicates the number of borrowed books to be returned.
The number behind Check for offers indicates new offers pending.
