FAQ
What is Book Lending?
Certain books from Amazon and
Barnes and Noble are flagged Lending
Enabled when you buy them online if
you have a USA based account. When
you have an email address of a friend
or member of our service you can
lend these books out. Books can only
be loaned for up to 14 days. At the
end of the 14 days the book is
returned to the original owner. When
books you own are lent out, you
cannot read them until they are
returned. Books can be returned early
when a user deletes them from their
device. When you lend a book to
someone on our service they have up
to 7 days to accept your request, if
they lose the borrowing privilege.
Does it cost anything?
No, our service is now 100% Free! You
can borrow and lend books without
any types of limits.
Do you reward book lenders?
We award book lenders with special
achivements and rewards for taking
part in the process.
How do I register an Account?
If you are an existing Facebook or
Twitter account owner you can use
our one click register buttons
underneath the main registration field
on the right hand corner of every
page on our website. You can also
manually register and give us basic
details. We recommend all users edit
their profiles and pick what kind of e-
reader you own. This will help with
other users being able to lend you
books better.
How does Kindle Lending Work?
Eligible Kindle books can be loaned
once for a period of 14 days. The
borrower does not need to own a
Kindle -- Kindle books can also be
read using our free Kindle reading
applications for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone,
BlackBerry, and Android devices. Not
all books are lendable -- it is up to the
publisher or rights holder to
determine which titles are eligible for
lending. While a book is on loan, the
lender will not be able to read the
book.
In order to lend a Kindle book you
must have a USA based account or an
account with a USA based address.
You can borrow a Kindle book from
anywhere in the world. The USA based
restriction is only for the book
owners, not the book borrowers.

Books.
How can I lend a Kindle Book if I
live outside the USA?
In order to lend books you must have
an Amazon account registered in the
USA. Non-USA customers will need to
make an address in MY ACCOUNT and
use a USA address. You then want to
flag that address as being your
primary one associated with your
account. You also want to use your
shipping address as the same USA
address. Many users use friends or
family living in the USA or other ones.
We will leave it to you to decide the
address you want to use.
When you register a USA billing and
shipping address and browse for
books you will notice in the book
properties if it is lending enabled. In
order to make sure a book is lending
enabled you can click on this example
HERE . If you scroll down the page a
bit you will notice "Product Details" It
will say Format, File Size, Sold By,
Language, ASIN, and then "Lending
Enabled" you can then buy the book
and lend it out. In the future any
books you want to buy and lend on
Lendingebook.com make sure it is
flagged "Lending Enabled"
Can I borrow a book if i live outside
the USA?
Customers with any Amazon account
using any device that has an Amazon
App can borrow books. The only GEO-
Restrictions are only to lend.
How Does Nook Lending Work?
You can lend an eligible title once to
any of your friends or family from
your Library, nook or eReader. Once
the loan period is up, or if they return
it sooner, you can read it again. When

on BN.com and read them on your
iPad, iPhone/iPod Touch, Android,
Blackberry , PC , Mac, or other

be lent will have the Nook Lending
Icon next to it.

How do I borrow a book?
Borrowing books is fairly easy and
straight forward. You have to first
login to our website via Facebook or
Twitter Connect. You can also
manually register an account. Once
your all registered you can click on the
Borrow a Book tab. By default all of
the recent books added to our service
will be listed but you can make more
refined searches. You can look for a
book to borrow by Author, Title, ASIN/
ISBN, Genre and Book Type. Book
type is important because it gives you
options to search by Barnes and
Noble or Amazon eBooks.
Once you refine your search for your
favorite author or book you can
search our service for it. If one of our
lenders has this available you can put
in a request for it. You might notice
the Borrow (number) button. This
shows you how many people
currently have a request for this book.
Normally many people have copies of
this book so do not be afraid if the
number is high.
When you click on the borrow button
it flags the owners book with a red
flag. This makes the book owner
aware that someone wants to borrow
their book. Once they send you the
book you will receive an automatic
email letting you know the book has
been sent over. Sometimes once you
put in a request it could take a few
hours or days for the lender to send
you the book. So if it takes a little bit
of time, please excercise some
patience.
How is a book returned?
When you are done reading a book
that you borrowed from a user you
can click on MY LIBRARY and then click
on the book you borrowed. You will
have an option to Flag Book as
Returned. You will then let the owner
know you are done with the book.
When you return the book you can
leave Feedback for the owner on your
experience. Feedback helps the
commiunity know who the good
lenders and borrowers are. If you
forget to flag the book as returned the
owner will automatically know its
returned after 14 days.
How do I delete a book from my
device?
In order to properly flag a book as

What ISBN number do i use for
Amazon or Nook Books?
Since 2007 new books use the 13 digit
ISBN-13 format for nook books, if you

the 13 digital ISBN format. When you
lend a book select the ISBN number
