I am overwhelmed when I go to the library, kinda like going to Sam's club....so much stuff. So I go to Sam's and spend $400 or I go to the library and check out twice as many books as I can read in 3 weeks. Cause I can't decide between 'this' and 'that'. So, my new favorite thing is 'ezone'. I got to the libraries web site, plug in the name of he book or any author hat I like, check to see if they have the 'ezone' version, and if they do, request it. When it's available they email me and I go to the computer, connect the iPad and......MAGIC, it's there to read! Right now I'm reading Judy Collins "Sweet Judy Blues Eyes", which, I'm sure, would make my mother, the folk music lover, so happy. I thought this might interest my fellow book lover Kelley because you could check out all kinds of wonderful books without having to get the little folks ready to go "bye-bye car." You need an iPad, or iPhone or Kindle and a library with ezone. Also, you can do this this the Barnes and Noble Nook. It's much more complicated. Sylvia has a Nook and we could never get books from the library on it vey easily. Oh and the best thing about this.....free.

Deb -
Good stuff to know. I am the lucky recipient of a Kindle Touch this Christmas. So far I've put a few classics on it (stuff I should have already read but haven't).
I found this website http://www.jungle-search.com/US/ which helps locate books at amazon.com. Cool thing is you can set the gook cost to 0.00 to find all the free ones! (And these classics that I am catching up on are usually free!...but there are also some free promotional books by contemporary authors.) Keep us posted on the great reads!
I have checked out a few books on my Nook (using Adobe Digital Editions) but the only trouble is my library has a limited selection of e-books. I mean they have thousands- just not the ones I'm wanting to check out. I'm hopeful they will get more as I plan to use my Nook, J's Kindle and our hopeful future iPad to check out books from the library for free even while living overseas! We still go to the library every Friday anyways. Its too much fun.
