E-Books

I'm hearing a lot about how people are loving their Kindle.


They're now quite inexpensive, about $129.00 I think, but I believe the books cost about $10. Yes, it's true. I'm cheap. I prefer borrowing books from the library. Then again, I've heard you can get free books, too. Also, I like the idea of being able to read in bed without a night reading light that sometimes (rarely) bothers Art.

I just read in the Honolulu Star Advertiser that you can upload e-book selections (thanks to Project Gutenberg) from the Hawaii library system. It's through something called the Overdrive website.

Apparently you can upload books on readers like "Sony Reader, Barnes and Noble Nook and Kobo eReader, but not on Kindle which does not work with Overdrive."

So I'm wondering...

Is there a reason why I should do Kindle still? On the other hand, I think Kindle is more reasonably priced.

Oh no... another decision!
