7 day checkout explained Checkout limit is for a total of 7 days. If you have an audiobook on hold, when it becomes available, you have 7 days from that point to checkout/download and transfer it to your listening device. In other words, at the time the notification is sent, the book is placed on your bookshelf automatically, and your lending time (7 days) begins. Example: that book is available for checkout is sent to you on Monday. You wait until Friday to checkout/download and transfer the book to your iPod. The book is still “due” on Monday.
