Using the LendMe Program
Lending and Borrowing Books
With Barnes & Noble’s 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 tablet or NOOK eReader or on any NOOK application such as NOOK
®
for iOS, NOOK
®
forAndroid™,
NOOK
®
for Windows
®
8, or NOOK
®
for Web.
You may lend each of your lendable books once. You cannot read
a book while it is on loan or while a lending oer is pending, but you always get the book back once it has been
returned or when 14 days have passed.
All LendMe functionality is consolidated online at MyNOOK.com. Visit MyNOOK.com to lend and borrow eligible
NOOK Books easily, as well as to accept LendMe oers from friends. You can read and enjoy LendMe eligible NOOK
Books on your NOOK devices and through the Free NOOK Reading Apps registered to your NOOK account.
