My library system circulates e-books in pdf, e-pub, and mobipocket format, but the DRM protection prevents me from using it them on my kindle. That's partly what prompted the workshop - so many library patrons got them as Christmas gifts, and have been asking the staff for help in accessing our e-book collection. We're starting with just the kindle for now, but will offer more workshops if there's enough interest. I have to say - as a lifelong reader, who has always had multiple books going, and stacks that I couldn't get to, I NEVER expected to get so much pleasure out of reading from a device. I'm completely hooked.
thanks for the friendly words,
kate
