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”.
