Overdrive/library & public domain questions
Hi,
Dunno if this has been asked yet, I was wondering if the Kindle had the ability to, from the device itself w/o having to connect to a computer:
1. Download library ebooks (say using Overdrive system)
2. Download books from public domain websites (Gutenberg, etc.)
I know that some Android ereader apps (Aldiko) have built in access to online catalogs like Goodreads or Gutenberg, and I was wondering if there was something similar or just as easy to use on the Kindle (or any other ereader).
I checked out a Nook Touch in the store and talking with the representative, I got the impression that you needed a separate computer in order to transfer books from Overdrive/Gutenberg catalogs, which does not appeal to me. Also the annotation/note support (especially the search) for the Kindle seems to be better than any other ereader on the market.
Thanks.
