I use OD all the time. Little hint. If you haven't finished your book yet and it's about to be returned, turn off wi-fi..and you'll have time to finish it.

Natalie, I have about 70 quilt books that I would like to sell to anyone who might be interested.

It is a wonderful app. I can get books that the library system doesn't have in hard copy.

Natalief- Since my last post I've tried unsuccessfully to get a card from any of the libraries on that link. They will issue you one for the amount (each one is different) but you have to get the card in person. Since I won't be in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, or Houston any time soon I guess I won't be getting one.
I do have one in my husband's name as well. But I was hoping for different libraries around the country.

I'm glad you guys tuned me into Overdrive. I am subscribed to Kindle Unlimited, which is a bargain for the amount that I read at $10 a month, but I was very limited in available authors. A lot of independent authors (and found many that I enjoyed), but the ones with the larger publishing houses aren't available on it. Getting access to those for free through my local public library is a Godsend. Yipee!

I have a Kindle First account (Amazon Prime) where you get a free book per month. They are usually lesser known authors and some have been really good. It's free so if I don't like the book I just delete it.

You can also find a ton of free Kindle books on Amazon.

Be careful with "free" Kindle books. I signed up for that and after a few months, they started charging my VISA for a subscription. They must have got the account number because they are affiliated with Amazon and I have an account with them. When I called, they told me that the free part had expired and that if I didn't cancel it automatically started the subscription. Anyhow, watch your VISA bills. It was $9.99/month.

The only free books on Amazon that I know of are the Kindle first- and that's one per month if you have Prime.
