One of the key differentiations between the B&N nook and other ebook readers is the ability to lend books to your friends for a period of up to 14 days. The LendMe capability is in beta and I had the chance to test it out with my nook. Lending and receiving loaned books is simple and easy from your device.

You can respond to the loan request using the touch capacitive color display on the bottom of your nook. If you select No then your friend gets their book rights back and can lend the book to someone else.
