Ebooks

Project Gutenberg - This site provides a variety of ways to locate materials. One can search by author, title, subject, etc. Also, one can also browse by genre, author, title, etc. Project Gutenberg also allows one to view the "Top 100" and "Editor's Choice."

World ebook Fair - This site has 125 collections that one is able to browse. There is free access to the site for the month of July. So, I was able to view a .pdf version of the children's book A Visit from Santa Claus.

OverDrive and NetLibrary - I prefer OverDrive to NetLibrary. Finding material on OverDrive is easier than on NetLibrary in my opinion. With OverDrive, one is able to browse as well as search. In NetLibrary, browsing doesn't appear to be an option. Also, OverDrive also seems to have more of a selection from which to choose. I gave up trying to use NetLibrary as I couldn't find any of the authors or titles for which I was searching. Although one can check out more at one time on NetLibrary, I would still rather use OverDrive. I doubt that I'll ever want to exceed the checkout limit on OverDrive. Most of the books that I wanted to checkout in OverDrive were already checked out and my only option was to place a hold on them. Finally, I was able to download Anne of Green Gables. I had no problems with the download. I have not tried burning it to a CD or transferring it to an MP3 player.
