Lending a Book
To lend a book to a NOOK Friend, do this:
1. Open the NOOK Friends application for the book you want to lend. To open the application, do any of the fol-
lowing:
• In the Quick Nav Bar, tap Apps to display the apps on your NOOK Color. Tap the NOOK Friends app to
launch it. In the NOOK Friends application, tap the LendMe button in the main navbar. If the Lend but-
ton isn't selected in the row of buttons beneath the main bar, tap the Lend button. Scroll through the list
of books eligible for lending. Tap the LendMe™ button next to the book you want to lend.
• If the book is on the Home Screen or the Daily Shelf, press and hold on the book's cover until a pop-up
menu appears. In the pop-up menu, tap the LendMe menu choice.
• In your Library, press and hold on the book's cover until a pop-up menu appears. In the pop-up menu,
tap on the LendMe menu choice.
• In the book itself, tap the center of the page to bring up the Reading Tools. If a small blue flag appears
at the right end of the slider, tap the blue flag. Your NOOK Color opens a window showing the book,
along with a row of stars for rating the book, and buttons for writing a review, lending the book, and
recommending the book. Tap the LendMe button.
2. In the dialog box that appears, tap a social media icon to select the way you want to notify your contact of the
LendMe offer.
• You can notify your friend through email through your Contacts.
• If you have linked your NOOK Color to your Facebook account, you can notify your friend by posting
the offer posting a message on your friend's wall.
• If you have linked your NOOK Color to your Google account, you can notify your friend through
Gmail.
• If you have not entered any contacts or linked your account in any way, select Contacts, then use the
Add Contact button to add your friend's email address.
3. Write your email message or wall message and send it to your NOOK Friend.
To lend a book to a friend who is not a NOOK Friend, do this:
1. Make sure you can communicate with your friend either through email or Facebook.
• If you plan to make the LendMe offer through email, make sure you have entered your friend's email
address in your Contacts app. You can access the Contacts app from the Apps screen. To visit the Apps
screen, tap the Apps button in the Quick Nav Bar.
• If you plan to make the LendMe offer through Facebook, make sure that you have linked your NOOK
Color to your Facebook account, and also make sure that the friend to whom you want to lend the
book is in your Friends list on Facebook. You can connect your NOOK Color to your Facebook ac-
count through the Social Settings screen, which you can access by tapping the Settings button in the
Quick Nav Bar.
2. In your Library, press and hold on the cover of the book you want to lend. Books are eligible for lending if they
have a LendMe badge on their cover.
A pop-up menu opens.
3. In the pop-up menu, tap on the menu choice LendMe.
A dialog box opens, explaining the terms of the LendMe offer, and asking if you want to reach your friend
through your Contacts list or through Facebook.
