It's Official - Kindle News

September 21st, 2011 at 10:53 pm

Library books now officially available to download on Kindle.

At least at our library.

I know the space between announcement and implementation was about a full year. My dh has been griping FOREVER. (He found a way around it and has been downloading library books to his kindle, anyway).

BUT, he really likes the new set up, and not having to do any workarounds.

I still prefer the nook, but I admit it has lost it's #1 HUGE EDGE!

I still way prefer the touch screen though - so I will still be a nook gal, and dh can be a *happier* kindle guy.

I don't know if this speaks more to our library, or if it speaks to Amazon getting its act together.

    I'm still a purist and like those hardcover page turning books, but I have actually used my Ipad for some books and it is a wonderful device. I just wish they had this technology when I was in college and had to lug that backpage with all my pricey textbooks in it!

    No kidding - My kids probably will *never* have text books to lug around. Their K-8 school is shifting to free electronic texts versus costly paper books. & obviously an ebook or iPad is a great investment when the alternative is to lug around a pile of heavy, expensive, and quickly obsolete books.
