(when i used to be there 1-2 times a week). :*carolyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi Carolyn,You're so busy. How would you find time to get there regularly? My libraries are usually closed by the time I get back in town.I have the new, smaller Kindle, and I love it more each day. It even fits in my coat pocket. It's so light and thin, and for a walker like me, it means my commute bag stays light. The screen has no glare, and the text is crisp. I don't have time to get to my library, and this will actually save me money. I used to just order books online.Enjoy the color eReader! > OT: the Kindle > Speaking of Kindle: I love, love, love getting library books on > the Kindle without leaving the house. hi angelica! im so glad to hear that you enjoyed some books while you were taking it easy. ive had a sony ebook reader for a couple of years and really like it, but i think that late this year i will splurge and get a colour reader. i also download all of my books.. from the library some times but also from other online sources. i agree it ebooks are really great, but i feel kind of badly about not stepping foot in the local library for years!

How would you find time to get there regularly? > My libraries are usually closed by the time I get back in town. even though i live in the middle of nowhere, i am lucky that there is a library in the nearest village which is a 10 minute drive away!! i have read many of the books on their shelves... they have some great books in their collection, and surprisingly alot of new stuff... but it is small by public library standards. it was located in an old heritage home, and was very quaint... alot of the amish folks go there. this rural library was connected online to the larger city libraries and i could request whatever i wanted to be delivered there for free. i knew when the delivery days and times were so i would order at home via the internet and pickup 10 mins away, 1-2 days later. the librarians were pretty good but once they tried to say i had an overdue book (never!!!) so i went to the shelves and pulled it out and handed it to them...LOL. anyway, im interested in looking at all of the newest ereaders and maybe getting a new one, but there is really nothing wrong with the one i have. so....... :*carolyn.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I would keep it, then. I bet they really aren't that more useful than what you already have.I did that same thing, LOL! I walked over to the shelf and got the book I had turned in. > You're so busy.
