With a Nook and a library card you can download hundreds of library books. And there are a ton of ebooks available for free. Borders and Barnes and Noble offer new ones for free frequently. I travel a lot for my job and have trouble getting to the library before it closes, so the Nook works well for me.
Oh Katia - that used to be me too! Until just recently, I had let my library card lapse because I wound up "buying" the books also. :shock:
What is nice about the Nook borrowing from the library is that there are NEVER late fees.....When the lending period (21 days at most libraries) is over, the book will not open on the Nook any longer!!! If you didn't finish it, you have to go back to the library website, and take it out again...
You are also able to become a member of many libraries that are not 'yours'.... IE the Philadelphia Free Public Library will let anyone become a member (and download books) for a yearly fee of $15....
I LOVE my Nook. I still buy real books, if I see something I really want and the price is right!
