How to Borrow Books From the Library With the Nook Color
While the Kindle has the advantage of a direct connection to Amazon's massive e-book store, the Nook Color has Barnes & Nobles' impressive store and you can borrow e-books from public libraries. Many libraries around the country have teamed up with Overdrive, an e-book lending service that allows you to borrow e-books for a specified time. When the time is up, the e-book disappears from your computer and book reader. Once you check the book out, getting it onto your Nook Color is a simple process.
