E-Books
I have been playing around with e-books for about a week or so - Even though we have had e-books for a couple of years I had no experience with them. The audio books from Overdrive are a great idea, and I am sure this will be the wave of the future with dvds, also - its so simple to download and burn these. I had no problems downloading the software from Overdrive, but I made the mistake of upgrading to Adobe 8 before I read the directions - so I had to backtrack and downgrade. Using the Adobe reader didn't seem quite as user friendly as Overdrive, but it wasn't difficult. I think its a great idea for Reference books, and this is something everyone might need to do at some point, when they need a manual or instructions for something they can't find anywhere else. I will definitely be looking at the e-book spot on our website more often to see what's new. I do have a question - Can you "return" your E-book if you finish before the due date? I tried deleting it from my downloads, and this doesn't work, and there is no option to do this from "My bookshelf". If anyone knows the answer to this please let me know.
