Using the LendMe Program

Lending and Borrowing Books

With Barnes & Noble’s exclusive LendMe technology, you can share lendable NOOK Books with any NOOK Friend or any friend who has a Barnes & Noble account with a valid credit card number. Your NOOK Friend or friend can read the book on any NOOK or NOOK Color eReader or on any NOOK application such as NOOK for iPhone®, NOOK for iPod touch®, and NOOK for PC.

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 the details pages of books in your Library and the Shop. You can also access them through the Social settings controls described in “Configuring Social Features”.

Guidelines for Lending and Borrowing Books

Here are details about lending and borrowing books.

•You can lend only books that are in your Barnes & Noble Lifetime Library. Your Lifetime Library 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 or NOOK Color.

•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 Barnes & Noble online account, a valid credit card number associated with the online account, and a NOOK, NOOK Color, or other B&N eReader application that supports lending. An account holder’s credit card is not charged when he or she borrows a book from you.

•You can lend a book from anywhere with supported wireless connectivity (including Wi-Fi hotspots outside of the United States, U.S. territories, and Canada).

•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.
