Newfie, I had a difficult time deciding which eReader to purchase. At one point I was leaning toward one that could read ePub since I thought I'd like to use the library's lending system. But then I learned about long wait times, which kind of put me off. And I wasn't keen on installing another program on my computer. The idea of using 3G/wifi to obtain books appealed to me.
I decided to buy a Kindle, and I haven't regretted that decision! There are
many free books available – both classics and contemporary.
There are numerous web sites where you can obtain free ebooks, including here on MobileRead (see the "E-Books" link near the top of the screen). Here are two links that your husband may find helpful at Amazon.com:
Amazon Top 100 Bestsellers (free books on the right) and
Amazon Free Book Collections – Classics and Limited-time Promotions.
I have discovered many books (and authors) that I never would have considered if I'd limited myself primarily to borrowing library books. I hope that your husband enjoys his Kindle!
