FREE. E BOOKS......

Well I finally got an elibrary card ! It was free !

My paperback exchange has been closed for a few weeks due to owner illness and I was out of reading material.

It was so easy....don’t know why I waited so long ! Will be saving even more $ !!! The 13 days they give you to read a book is more than enough for me.

Needed to to be more careful in my selection because they also have audio ebooks which I got by mistake and immediately returned.

@jlkzFor years I have thought my library taxes were my absolute best value among all the taxes, and I particularly love the free books for my readers. Seems so wasteful to pay to download a book I'll read only once and that I can't pass on to others.

Not sure where you live @Jlkz but it sounds like you have a good library.

I lived first in Charlotte NC and now in a small rural community in NC. I started using an eReaders after Charlotte closed the library closest to my house and reduced hours at other branches.

The online libary selection was pretty sparse so I ended up joining the Orange County (Orlando FL) library. They allow out of state patrons to join online for $125 a year. Thousands of books available, can borrow for 7,14 or 21 days .......up to 20 books. It's well worth every penny.

I love my ebooks from the library. They offer OverDrive. Recently they have also added Kanopy for free movies. So nice when I can’t make it in for a while.

Brooklyn Public Library has 5 million items all are lent for 21 days. Renewable 50 Times If no one else has a hold. The NYC Library has 53 million items (some can’t be borrowed.

It is the best value for my tax $.I read 3-5 books a week, I ‘m retired. Buying would be a waste.

Best deal around and its its all free.
