You can borrow or "check out" Digital Editions from a Digital Editions library in the 
same way that you borrow printed books. Borrowed Digital Editions expire at the end of 
the loan period and are returned or "checked in" automatically, so you never have to worry 
about overdue fees. Because some online libraries limit the number of Digital Editions 
that you can borrow at a time, you may want to return a borrowed Digital Edition before it 
is due. 

The website for each online library provides its own particular instructions for selecting, 
borrowing, and downloading Digital Editions; the My Digital Editions bookshelf doesn't 
automate those processes, but does let you manually return a Digital Edition to the online 
library that lent it to you.

Borrowed Digital Editions appear in the My Digital Editions bookshelf with the 

Time-out icon 

 next to the thumbnail of the book. You can click the Time-out icon to 

see when the Digital Edition expires.

Note: The Time-out icon also appears on Digital Editions that you have purchased but 
that are packaged with an expiration date.

1.  Connect to the Internet.

2.  Click the Time-out icon 

 next to the Digital Edition thumbnail, and in the Document 

Expiration dialog box, click Return To Lender.

Note: Digital Editions borrowed from a library generally cannot be sent by email or 
shared with other users. You can send a borrowed Digital Edition to a mobile device; 
however, you can't return the Digital Edition from the mobile device. The Digital Edition 
continues to honor the expiration settings and expires when due.
