lending Nook books...

[FoundMyPrince]

One feature my family loves about the Nook is that they can loan books to friends for up to 14 days. And, since this is a budget board, I thought I'd see if anyone would want to loan a Nook book or request a Nook book.

Anyone?

Been gettin 95% of my books from the library, it seems that most of the books I actually bought from B&N did not have the LendMe feature.

I'm in a Facebook Group called "I have a Nook and I'm willing to share books". It's an active group.

Come on and join!

Thank you! I didn't realize that some books could be loaned and others couldn't! I'm joining the group now!!

Also be aware that most LendMe books can only be leant out once...just an fyi.

Once...ever or to one person at a time?

Once ever. Once you loan it out, you can't loan it again.

I use the nook app but I only have a few books. I joined www.lendink.com and have loaned out one or two books. This site is both for nook and kindle - but you specify which format you want.

I also use the kindle app and seem to do most of my reading with kindle or with public library digital downloads.

i tried this site, and even registered a book, but everything i want to borrow is listed as unlendable. oh well.

Yup, once ever. Once loaned you can't do it again.

Yes - many books are not lendable with nook or kindle. I was able to get one that I wanted that my library didn't have. Fortunately my public library has most of the books I want.

Wow...that's just stupid. If I own a copy of a book, I should be able to loan it to a friend, just like I would with a hard copy book. I'll stick with the library books on my Nook then.

They really need to change the fact you can only lend out once! I just got a Nook so I will join these groups! Thank you!

The major decision point of nook v. kindle for me was the idea of using library books.

We must have a saturated area, because the ebook selection is extremely limited and most titles have waiting lists. I stopped bothering with the library and concentrate only on Nook books. (free only).

The Lend me feature is a nice idea but I haven't really used it.
