Well, you can't do that with ebooks from a few companies.

Barnes & Noble with their Nook books used to permit it, but don't now. Your advice would have been great if I had heard it before they changed.

Oh, and as far as I'm aware, B&N didn't give any advance notice, like Shelfie, and some other ebook companies did before going out of business. At B&N, you could download one day, and the next day you couldn't (I know that for a fact, because I had that happen to me).

B&N and Walmart are two of a handful of companies that I hope to see experience a slow, agonizing death. The only tears that I shed will be tears of joy.


ADDENDUM: Sears is a third company.
