I’ve always loved to read regular books. But since the first time I tried an ebook, I was hooked. The best ebook site I’ve found is moebow.com They have thousands? of ebooks and great prices, they also have many free ebooks.
@fercarcedo but that. is. stupid. Nobody wants? to pay for decent books you can get at your library for free.
Kindle Fire is the bestt!!! i bought 1. seriosly, its save money and looks really fancy. Trust me, u can? check comparison, spec in at CHEAPKINDLES? . NET
This process isn’t recessary; You? can also buy your books directly from your Kindle using the online Amazon’s shop using your Wi-Fi connection.
Very? cool. Thanks!
@21rasko Yes, just download the free Kindle app on your iPad then add your local library? (that subscribes to Overdrive)..
Thanks for the help! I was able to get free drinks out of a vending machine by fallowing the guide at howtoebooks . info?
Can I do this on an? iPad?
@videogirlsk The number of Kindle books depends on how? many titles your library system has decided to purchase. Our system (WPLC in WI) has 4,913 titles, and counting. (Hint-hint: Contact your library!) 🙂
As of now, there are only 501 FICTION Kindle books in OverDrive. I am hoping there will be more books added online later on, but right now, there? aren’t many books to choose from. I am a bit disappointed.
excellent. What a wonderful world we live in. I love my? paper books but I love E-Books. It is NOT SAD that it takes 4 minutes to explain the checkout procedure. It’s new!
@librarybuzzard I work in a library. In fact, I’m a library director. Each step in this process is an obstacle to access. The more difficult it is to access content the less likely a user will persevere through the process to? obtain what they want. I encourage you to try imagining the world as it should be. I can drive to work steering with my feet but it doesn’t mean its the most efficient or effective way to get to work.
@PostLibrary If you worked in a public library offering this service, like I do, you would know being able to explain this process in ONLY four minutes is excellent. I deal with questions about downloadable books almost every day, and this video is excellent, though trying to cover so many options? concisely means some fine details are overlooked.
Just tried it, and it works great, except for one thing. After I synced my Kindle App (on an Android), I couldn’t? find the book. Took me a while to find it in Archived Items.
*Sigh* It? takes almost 4 minutes to explain how to download a book. Sad. So very, very sad.
