After all, the bother of 'checking out' library ebooks over-and-over-again in order to re-read after the 'expiration date' has passed, it's just too much hassle. Of course, I'm one of those who tends to come back to titles I enjoyed.

I mean, you spent the money for the Cybook, why not have her buy the ebooks she wants to read and store those ebooks to a DVD for later enjoyment?

I read a lot of best sellers....good, fast and entertaining reads, but not anything I plan to read more than once. I don't want to spend money on these types of books if I don't have to. I LIKE the idea of checking books out of the library. The time frame to read the books is 21 days which is more than enough time to get through these books.

It is so easy and convenient. I don't have to return the books so I don't have to worry about late fees, and rechecking them out is all done online so it is as convenient as buying books on the web, without having to pay for them.
