Borrowed ebooks from library and ... - Page 2

As someone who paid late fees at libraries back in the day, I approve! I have no ethical issue with this because you can't copy/loan it, the library gets 'its copy' back on time, and the publisher gets paid the same. But everyone has to make up their own mind about this.

Well, that was fun while it lasted, but I had to connect my Sony and the book was gone. I know some mentioned here 3 weeks for borrowing from their library, but mine only offers 13 days before the material expires. All I wanted to do was finish the book, but sometimes life gets in the way and 13 days doesn't hack it. It will be over a six-month wait before I can borrow it again. I'll just buy it from the Ebook store.

This is why I'm glad I have my AC Charger. My reader will need to be charged, and I'm not done reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks yet!
