Regarding the various uses of English, I am British English, and therefore more correct than all of you.
Actually not. People left England for the new World just to get away from the incorrect English.

Exactly. No national spelling differences here. Advice is a noun, advise is a verb.

LIbraries outside of the US do not offer Kindle formats, including Australian libraries. Australian libraries offer epubs (and some pdf's), usually with Adobe DRM. This DRM must, as an earlier post indicated, be removed following which the newly liberated epub can be converted to mobi or azw3 for sideloading and reading on a Kindle. I can't comment on the legality or otherwise, though morally I don't think there is any harm done if you make only a single copy, read it within the time of the loan and delete it immediately thereafter

As far as I'm aware there is no relevant difference between library epubs and purchased epubs. I have no problems converting the latter and reading them on my Kindle, though I'm not overly fussy. Page numbers are usually pretty well meaningless with ebooks in any event.

Now it can be told, the unfinished story inspired by the incredible writing of Dale M. Courtney, author of "Moon People."

My story, "ESP People," is about Brent Brainard, an English teacher who teaches a bunch of units because that's what English teachers do, they teach English units. Typically, teachers go to work on Monday morning and Brent Brainard is no exception. ESP stands for Extra Sensory Perception, which means that he can read people's minds!
WOW! -- Now on Chapter 16.
Sorry to go off topic but does it have Zombies in it, with or without ESP? Surely with a name like Brainard he must at least have a Zombie or two interested in chasing him!

this, of course, is correct. however, i think what makes it confusing is that the noun version of someone offering advice is "adviser/advisor".

However, they are pronounced differently so they are spelled differently. An advisor gives advice but may advise me differently.

How about you sow some oats for your sow, then sew the sow's ear into a so-called purse?
There now you have some advice from an advisor and now you can please advise me on the proper use of two tutus.
