A couple of weeks, I think.

That's a great site and so is Feedbooks. I use both of them quite frequently.

Thanks for bringing it up.

Rich,

I was able to get a Philly card at no charge which is great. I have to physically go to a library branch in Allegheny County to get a Carnegie card. I haven't gotten around to that yet but I will. Thanks for the tips!

Is there a way to work around the DRM as the UK has many good books for sale?? Can I get Brits to save and send as an attachment? Or are there "better" ways... ahem!
I wouldn't buy books from amazon unless you want to break the DRM and convert them as they're both the wrong format and DRM scheme for kobo. However! I'd try a library of Philadelphia card. or other libraries.

And also look through these:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Free...loadable_Books
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EBoo...ible_Libraries
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_stores

You'll want epubs, of course.

Geo-restrictions is something a little unavoidable, sometimes, however.

The kobo store has a terrific selection!
