• You need a library card to borrow books. Want to borrow a NOOK book
from the New York Public Library? You need a New York Public Library
card. You can’t borrow books from libraries that let only residents borrow
books if you’re not a resident. Check with your local library for details.
• There may be limits on how many eBooks you can borrow at one time.
Your local library may limit you to a maximum number of eBooks—five, for
example.
• Look for eBooks in the EPUB or PDF formats. Those are the common
formats your NOOK Tablet can read, so when browsing or searching, look
for them.
How to Borrow and Read NOOK Books
As mentioned previously, libraries may have different methods for lending out
eBooks, and for you then to transfer them to your NOOK. Typically, though, you
must download the free Adobe Digital Editions software, and then register it.
Without first doing so, you may not be able to borrow books.
Head to www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions and install the software. You
must also register for an Adobe ID to use the software and borrow books from a
library. If you don’t have one, head to
www.adobe.com/account.html and create
one. Then, when you’re asked to activate your computer after the Adobe Digital
Edition software is installed, enter that ID and password.
