Is there a thread
Is there a thread that someone can direct me to that lists places you can buy,get for free or otherwise download books for the kobo. No torrent sites please though
I just returned my 1gen one tonight and Im pre-ordering the new one tomorrow but I'd like to start browsing sights to locate books to download. I know the Sony forum on here has a ongoing thread so I'm hoping the Kobo one does too or knows they are pretty much the same. TIA Fiona |

If you are interested in new releases nothing beats the webscription. You can choose to buy bundles of books as they ar released/ have been released (great archive!) I haven't found any better deal that 4-6 new books for $15! Not sure I would shell out the extra money to see an ARC (advance reader copy) instead of waiting for the few months to see a normal edition but hey to each their own. |

One minor issue is that the older CDs do not have ePubs, but MS Reader files (.lit) convert to ePub very nicely and easily with Calibre. |
