For some reason I "enjoy" the paper books more than I enjoy the digital ones.

Keep the connection off line and there won't be any book "taken back". Only turn it on when downloading.Tumbleweed Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050387008581998440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003208894393023364.post-34783509707881736472011-08-17T10:08:32.428-05:002011-08-17T10:08:32.428-05:00I'm a member of the Library Board of Trustees ...I'm a member of the Library Board of Trustees for our local public library. We've discussed for about a year the topic of having ebooks available through Overdrive for our patrons. We recently decided to join a consortium of other public libraries to offer ebooks. This is just getting started so I can't tell you how well (or not so well), it is working.

E-books/e-readers can complement & strengthen a library service, whereas politicians just want to close public library services!

I have a Nook and a Kindle, and nothing has ever been taken back. Two of the books I have, amazon sent me a notice that there were formatting issues, and gave me a link to re-download it, and advised me to delete the original downloads.<br /><br />I don't see ereaders killing libraries- my county South Jersey Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12187235089238988002noreply@blogger.com
