While reading an ebook from the Brooklyn Public Library last month, I noticed that I was able to read for many days after the due date until I finished the book. Today with the book that I’ve been reading for the past few weeks, I realized it was also past the due date and I was still reading, so I decided to see if my previous book was still there, too, and if they stay forever.
Sadly, I learned that they were both expired, and I could no longer get into the one I had just been reading! The moral of the story is that you can keep reading library books until well after the due date as long as you don’t navigate out of the book to any menus.
GPOYW, thanks for the new Nook, eBay! edition.
I’m getting a new Nook today, la la la la la la!
Nooks for everyone
- Me: Since I just bought a new Nook for myself, are you going to change the name of our old Nook from "AS/CR Nook" and take our picture off the background?
- CR: No! ...I don't know how to do that.
Not all Nook eBooks are lendable, so check for the LendMe icon next to your books to see which ones you can lend.
How to Lend Books from a Nook (eHow)
My mom just got a Nook, so I am investigating lending for the first time. Apparently, all of the books I’ve purchased are not lendable. Kablargo.

Oh, man. I’ve been talking smack about the uselessness of the lend feature on the Nook, but this may just make me eat my words.
Delicious leftovers for lunch, volume 2. Courtney cooked these for me last spring, and I forgot about them until this week. So good!
MAR-A-LAGO TURKEY BURGER 1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced 1. Saute the scallions, celery and apples in the canola oil until tender. Let cool. 2. Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Add sauteed items and the remaining ingredients. Shape into eight 8-ounce burgers. Refrigerate for 2 hours. 3. Season the turkey burgers with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated, lightly oiled grill. Grill each side for 7 minutes until meat is thoroughly cooked. Let sit for 5 minutes. Serve with a side of Mar-a-Lago pear chutney and your favorite toasted bread, pita or hamburger roll. (via nj.com) p.s. Nooks are amazing for bringing online recipes into the kitchen.

Oh, old people. But my library card also puts books on my Nook while I sit on my couch at 9pm!
We just got a Nook in the mail as a gift from Cathrine!! AAAHHHH I’m so excited. (Thank you, thank you, Cathrine!)
My second step after opening the box for a new piece of electronic equipment is to order the necessary protection for said equipment. Is it unreasonable to be suspicious of any Nook screen protector at a steep discount sold by Amazon, home of the Kindle? They probably get their kicks from Nooks with scratched up screens.
The Kindle doesn’t handle Adobe’s digital rights management … you cannot check books out from the library and use them on it. The B&N Nook, however, does support such things (as do a host of other ereaders). Since the release of the latest Kindle, I’ve been hankering for one - the lack of that feature has actually been a deterrent.
You can lend many of your eBooks one time for a maximum of 14 days … you will not be able to read your eBook while it is on loan

This one time limit tarnishes the luster of the lending feature.
PHEW! Now I don’t have to think about wanting one anymore.
