eBooks

eBooks are a relatively new form of technology that allows people to read a book, but you read the book with a piece of hardware or online.  It is “simply” reading a book online. There are some sites that you can go to that have books that are specifically ready for eBooks that you can buy or download.

As well as being able to buy an eBook, a lot of Libraries these days will have a link where you can download and in a word, borrow it. However with these links, you have to have the right software and because eBooks are relatively new, there may be problems with “borrowing” downloading a book from a Library.

There are a few devices that you can use to download your books onto:

·         Kindle

·         Nook

·         CyBook

·         KOBO

·         Libre

·         Franklin eBookMan

·         EasyReader

·         Kolin

·         Hiebook

·         RCA REB 1100
