e-books, Kindles and more

We have recently purchased more Kindles, Sony e-readers and Nooks. Each of the 4 Kindles have over 60 books already loaded on them; each of the 3 Sony e-readers have 24 titles on them, and each of the 3 Nooks have 15 titles on them. As people check them out we load new titles on for them so the lists of titles just keep getting longer.
Many people have asked about loading e-book titles onto their own devices. We are in the process of making this happen with a company called Overdrive. Hopefully this will be available in the new year. However, because of licensing agreements, or lack thereof, (don't you just love legalese) the e-books will only download to a Sony or a Nook or similar device, not to the Kindle or iPad. Look for announcements of this program soon.

Freegal and more

Have you tried Freegal yet? Download music from the Sony catalog onto your device. We already download audio books so why not music. And coming soon are downloadable ebooks for the Sony Reader and the Nook. Sorry they do not work on the Kindle, but we will let the publishers and the companies fight that one out. We are ready when they are. We are buying more ereader devices so put your name on the list and you will be able to check one out soon.

e-readers

e-readers of all sorts are the rage. Library has 2 Kindles and a Sony e-reader for loan, but please be patient. The hold lists can be long! When its ready for you, we will load a title of your choice (subject to availability) onto it for you to read.
Here is an article on making your netbook into an e-reader:

e-readers

We now have a Sony e-reader! We will load a book onto it for you to read. Then you check it out for 3 weeks and read it like a book. See what this new technology is all about. See if you like reading on a device before you buy.
Also have 2 Kindles which are going out like crazy. Have over 40 books loaded onto the Kindles.
