If you buy a book or periodical and it isn't fully downloaded yet, there's a
Download banner (which the NOOK calls a
the cover that shows how much of the book has been downloaded, and how
much is left to go.
There are plenty more badges on book and periodical covers you'll likely come
across in the Library, most notably these:
• Download. Indicates that the book or periodical hasn't yet been down-
loaded, or is in the process of downloading. If it hasn't been downloaded,
tap to do the deed.
• New. The item has recently been downloaded to your NOOK and is anx-
iously waiting to be read.
• Sample. A free excerpt of a book or periodical. These samples generally
don't time out and will live forever, but they're only a portion of the book or
publication.
• Recommended. A NOOK Friend has recommended the item to you. For
details, see page 93.
• LendMe. You can lend this to a friend. For details, see page 182.
• Lent. You've borrowed this item from someone or from a library. The
badge indicates how many days are left in the borrowing period. Typically
you can borrow something for up to 14 days.
• Pre-order. The item isn't yet available for sale, but if you want it as soon as
it's released, you can order it ahead of time.
NOTE
Books that you've copied to your NOOK Tablet's SD card don't have badges on them. However,
they have a small NOOK icon in their lower-right corner to show that they're stored on your SD card.
