@Ainhisg, thanks for the info. I am retired as well, lucky us!!! I am in Canada but I can still shop at Best Buy and Amazon. I bought a shield for my MacBook Pro at Amazon at one third of the cost of Apple's version. I will check out the Speck Case.

There is an ipad mini 4? Mine ipad 3 is so old now, the case is showing some wear.

I was able to set up my Sony ereader on the MacBook using a library called Calibre. Sony was bought by Kobo. Too bad it wasn't the other way around. My Sony ereader is 5 years old and still much better than Kobo. I can't borrow books from the library though because I can't get my ereader recognized on the old Sony software. Apple has done something new to the MacBook's that keeps it from using old software. Didn't like that but Calibre was my go around. I was thinking I would use ipad mini for epub books.

Thanks for the comments and Merry Christmas! LM

@Lilysmom, on your tablet or phone, download the Overdrive App, link it to your library, and you should be able to download library books easy peasy! I have it on all my tablets and phone. I believe on your laptop, you can go to overdrive, as well, but I'm not sure. You'd have to do a search and see as I don't have it on my laptop.

@Ainhisg, I have overdrive on my ipad but I never use that for reading books. I prefer the e ink with ereaders. I get most of books from places other than the library though so I would only occasionally use overdrive. I could use my new ipad easily for those few times I borrow. I like the portability of the smaller ipad. I am curious to see what the Spring brings with ipad. Thanks for your input. LM
