Yes, both Amazon and Barnes & Noble have the same restrictions on lending: You can lend a book one time for 14 days. You can't access the book while it is out on loan. Also, the book's publisher gets to decide whether or not the book is lendable in the first place. The restrictions are limiting, but I am hoping that by building a community where people can offer up their books for loan, somebody out there will be able to loan you a book that you want to read.
