The selection changes frequently. The site makes it so easy to download the app for your PC, iPhone, iPad,or other smart device. When I first learned of this about a month ago, I immediately downloaded 28 books on my computer. Then, when I installed the mobile apps, the books automatically showed up. I read one entire book that weekend....one more book than I would have read. I may become a book reader yet. The most exciting part for me was that if I stopped reading on my phone, my iPad told me where I had left off and took me to that page.

They just feel good in your hands. <br /><br />My iPhone has aps available for both Kindle and Nook, but I have a limited data plan, so I hesitate to use them, especially if I have to pay for the book. (I’m not really cheap – just at an expensive stage of life.) Besides, we have 12,000 titles I can read here for free!<br /><br />I’ve had a bad habit in the past of ordering too many books off of Amazon with that one-click feature! <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />The ultimate fiscal conservativeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703081633800855379.post-76790933039486624312012-03-28T15:03:32.769-05:002012-03-28T15:03:32.769-05:00Thanks for this info.
