Lending eBooks
With LendMe™ technology from Barnes & Noble, you can now share eBooks from NOOK to NOOK. But it doesn’t stop there. You can lend to and from any device with the Barnes & Noble eReader application, including iPhone® and iPod touch®, BlackBerry® smartphones, and most Windows® and Mac® laptops and desktop computers. All you need to know is your friend’s email address.
Share your favorite eBooks with friends, family members, or with members of your book club, by lending many of your eBooks one time for 14 days.
When you use our LendMe™ technology, you cannot read an eBook while the lending offer is pending and while it is on loan, but you always get it back.

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 eBook.

•You cannot lend an eBook that has been lent to you.
•You cannot save a copy of a lent eBook to the microSD card.
