The library is 60 miles round trip so i just do not go. I think I would like it.. Now how do I save for that and not spend it on fabrics?
Overstock.com had some refurbished Nooks at an excellent price. DH got one and it works awesomely. I have the Nook color and it is fabulous. Nicest part is I don't have to go to the library, I use my library card number, got to the ebook part of the local libraries website and download the books from there. When they are due, they just automatically go back (welll, they actually just stop opening on the device). I went through 2 other readers before finding the Nook that actuallly does library downloads as advertised. Well worth the money.
