Which eReaders Compatible with Library eBooks?
 
For some reason, the squabble between Macmillan and Amazon has made me think about libraries, and why I quit using them, and why I like eBooks so much. A lot of my thoughts centered on convenience and availability. I found out that my library now has downloadable content so they've become convenient again. I'm very happy with my Kindle, but it's not compatible with my library. I have an iPhone and downloaded overdrive so I know I can get audio books.

This is from my libraries web site: "SonyŽ Reader for mobile reading of library eBooks. All EPUB eBooks & many PDF eBooks at this site are ready to enjoy on the Sony Reader. Requires installation of AdobeŽ Digital Editions." Does this mean I'm limited to only Sony readers, or do I just look for readers that can read EPUB & PDF eBooks?

You are not limited to Sony. There are quite a few readers that work with Adobe Digital Editions software. Check the WIKI on this site.

Here is a web page showing Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) compatible e-readers.

I am shopping for an e-reader now. My main considerations are low cost and ability to read e-books checked out from libraries. Right now I am leaning towards the Aluratek Libre Reader Pro. I like the included dictionary and user replaceable batteries of the similar Jetbook Lite, but as of now it doesn't support ADE.
