EBooks

First off, let me say I am not a big fan of Ebooks. I like holding an actual book in my hand lying in my bed reading. Not sitting at a computer.

Also, I like my computer to have as less junk and programs on it as is absolutely neccessary. But for the sake of the assignment, I downloaded the player.

From Overdrive I got 24 Hours by Greg Iles only because it had a copy available. I also like the browsing function on Overdrive.

Netlibrary I found a little more difficult to find something of interest to me, but I did like that you could just click on a button (after you logged in with your library card) and view the book on the screen without having to download extra softward. So I chose The Aenied by Virgil.

I have to say, while I didn't find the procedures overly complicated, they were a lot more work than I am used to if I want to read a book.
