nook

By now, I’m sure you all know that I love my Kindle.  I mean, LOVE it.   But I do also own a Nook.  Which I rarely used.  Except for now. I recently learned that if you live in the US, you can borrow books from your public library for free, as long as you have a library card.   All without leaving home.   The borrowed book stays on your Nook for two weeks.  Not too bad, right?  And since I read anywhere between five and ten books a week, this one is sure to save me some money.  I finally downloaded the software to use this program this week, and I’ve already read three books for free.   So if you have a Nook, contact your local library to see if they participate in this program.   I think that e-readers are getting better and better. 

Have a great weekend!

Best,

Stephanie

    Oh my! Between five and ten books a week? I'm super impressed, Stephanie!
    Hope your weekend will be a lovely one. Hugs and love.

    Seriously? 5-10 books a week? That's incredible! I read alot, but certainly not that much! I must admit, I read way more now that I have my Nook color! Love the thing. So does my 4 year old daughter who is on it now...which is the only reason I am checking blogs because, lately, I've been reading lots!! I am stuck on old-timey lady books, like Charlotte Bronte's Jane Erye and lots of Jane Austen. Well, toodles to you! Until next time...

    Thanks for this great tip! I have a nook, but I had no idea they offered this service. I'll be checking to see if my library participates. I can't get over you reading 5 to 10 books a week. That's impressive!

    Now if the iPad could do the same thing, I'd be golden! And they said libraries were becoming obsolete...
