Thanks so much for your help. I have a Kindle and have been downloading books from them - but the library idea has me intrigued.

Mary,
E-Books have become so popular that it gets harder and harder to get them from your e-library. Overdrive is the software that is used to download the books to your E-reader. Each library owns a certain number of copies. If your library has lent out all theirs, they can put you on a waiting list. The best part about that is even tho it looks long they will notify you when it is available. You then have a set amount of time to download it. It will delete at the end of the loan time. In the meantime look for older books by authors that you like and download free books from the internet, like B&N free fridays.
