Barnes & Noble Nook discussion

I love my Nook and I really love to read, but I literally have only 1 nook friend to share my books with. I will read almost anything. Would anyone like to be my nook friend? My email is azcadellia@gmail.com.
Thanks.

sending you a nook friend request.

You can add me if you want. Marylene314@aol.com. I recently lent out a bunch of books, but you can still look at what I have. Too bad you can't lend out the same books more than once and to different people. That's the one thing I don't like about the nook. If I have the hard copy, I can lend it out as many times as I want and to whoever I want. That's the way it should be on the nook, you know. You own the book and should be able to do with it what you want.

I just realized that you already requested me. I approved you! :-) Happy Reading.

Hi everyone! You can add me too.

I couldn't agree more. It wouldn't be hard to do; just remove the one time only feature. Sure, you can't read it or loan it while it is on loan but you can't a DT book anyhow. I might buy more Nook books instead of checking them out from the library if that were the case. As it is, I still spend my money on DT books.

We should get as many people as we can to write/e-mail B&N in regards to this. I'm sure they get enough flack about it, but maybe if they get enough, they might do something about it.

Hello...my names is Melissa. New member of this group. I like reading dramas, thrillers, medical fiction, paranormal, nature & books on animals. My email is Emtmelissa@comcast.net in case anyone would like to add me as a Nook Friend. Thanks.

I didn't realize you couldn't loan it more than once! That doesn't seem fair, I bought it....

I agree, if the the libraries can do it, and if we physically purchased it why cant we .... however, technically what we can do also is you can download the book onto your computer since it is an epub file and email it to the person. It's not like we are charging people. It's our book we bought it.

Looking for Nook friends... please message me through here (goodreads) Since my nook is attached to my personal email I really dont like giving it out to just anyone...

Goodreads does not allow the sharing of information that is copyright infringement. Emailing a book to someone else is a violation of the author's/publisher's copyright. Most authors who do allow sharing also charge less for the ebook format than for the print format which means they are making less money off of each of these.

Unfortunately the balance of the ease of abusing ebooks against the possible swap, sell or share of print books is a difficult line for those trying to make money in the industry. As it is, books are illegally posted on sites all the time and those of use who want "our authors" to succeed are enraged at this flagrant violation of their rights, but as readers we want to be able to share as we always have.
