![]() ![]() However, unlike the Amazon Prime Lending Library (we'll be visiting Amazon again by the time we're done), people can only check out as many copies of an ebook as your library owns. So, if your library only has one electronic copy of the new John Sandford book, only one person can check out the book. How to Read People Like a Book. The person across your restaurant table. The good news is that most people are highly expressive and rather easy to read. ![]() If you’ve hung around my site very long at all, it’s no surprise that I absolutely love eBooks. I started buying and reading them about two years ago, and I’ve never looked back. Although I’ve been a bookworm since, well, birth, in recent years my bookshelves have become so crammed that I’ve simply run out of room for more books. If you had asked me a couple years ago if I would ever transition to reading via a Kindle or other eReader, I would have laughed. Nope, not me! I would have said. I like the feel of a good paperback in my hands, where I can flip the pages and highlight and underline and fold down the pages. Besides, I love the smell of old books. But I changed. And even though I occasionally still go for a hard copy (like of my 600+page book!), I primarily now read eBooks. What I love about ebooks: • They are instantly accessible. Whether you order a PDF version or a Kindle or Nook version, you can start reading immediately after your purchase. • There are no shipping fees or taxes. Most (maybe all) electronic products do not require that you pay taxes, and since the product is not in a hard copy, you eliminate the need for shipping. • They are often cheaper. Now, this is not always the case, but many times authors will price the electronic versions of their books more cheaply because their costs of printing the book is much lower in the first place. • They are a way I can support my favorite authors and bloggers. When I purchase an eBook from a blogger, for example–especially the PDF version–I know that that money is going directly to paying their expenses and helping them run their sites and support their families. There is no “middle man” to pay. • They take up less space–or any space at all. You can print out an eBook (the whole thing or portions of it), but you don’t have to, so they only take up space on your electronic devices and keep your home less cluttered.
