I think eventually you will see more and more ereader bookclubs popping up on the web for people to share the books they have bought and sprung from drm to be read within their groups. |

You are right that it's not easy, but it's certainly easier now than it will be if there are no ebooks at libraries! People are often willing to go out of their way to do something the legal way, but only to a certain extent. |

Oh pooh. Checking out e-books couldn't be much simpler. So a lot of books have waiting lists--so what? Once you get started, the books start flowing in on a pretty regular basis.

The older books don't usually have a bad waiting list at all.

My library just began Overdrive lending and I can definitely see what you mean. It's conceivable that someone could be easily kept busy by what's on Overdrive alone.

My library has thousands so even if a few have long waits I have found plenty of others available to read in the meantime. I can and have gotten by mostly reading free library books.

Would love to see local libraries organize something similar with the community-would really help expand people's access to books of all types. |
