Using the LendMe® Program in NOOK® Friends
Lending and Borrowing Books
With NOOK LendMe® technology, you can share lendable NOOK Books with any NOOK Friend or any friend who
has a NOOK account with a valid payment method. Your NOOK Friend or friend can read the book on any NOOK
or NOOK eReader or on any NOOK application such as NOOK for iPhone®.
You may lend each of your lendable books once. You cannot read a book while it is on loan or while a lending offer is
pending, but you always get the book back once it has been returned or when 14 days have passed.
You can access LendMe features through the NOOK Friends app or through your Library.
Guidelines for Lending and Borrowing Books
Here are details about lending and borrowing books.
• You can lend only books that are in your NOOK account. Your account holds all the NOOK Books that you
have purchased. Not all books can be lent, though many can.
• You can lend only from a registered NOOK eReader.
• You can send a lending offer to any email address, but to accept the offer, the other person must have an email
address associated with a NOOK online account, a valid payment method associated with the online account,
and a NOOK or NOOK eReader application that supports lending. An account holder’s payment method is not
charged when he or she borrows a book from you.
• You can lend a book from anywhere with supported wireless connectivity.
• You can only lend a book one time. It only counts as the one-time lending if your friend accepts the lending offer.
If the lending offer expires or your friend rejects the offer, you can still lend the book.
• When you offer to lend a book, the offer lasts for up to 7 days. The offer ends when your friend accepts the of-
fer or when 7 days have passed.
• Once you have offered to lend the book, you cannot retract your offer.
• A loan is for 14 calendar days, counting the day on which the lending offer 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
offer 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.
Determining whether a Book Can Be Lent
Not all books can be lent. Here’s how you can determine whether or not a book is lendable.
• Any book eligible for lending has a LendMe badge on its cover.
• If your Library includes any books eligible to be lent out, they will appear on the shelf of lendable books in the
LendMe section of your Library.
