I use it as an electronic notebook at work for meetings, projects, classes, things I'm researching - pretty much everything. It's easy to use, easy to search, mobile-friendly and also I can use it via the web when I'm sitting on the library desk and not at my own desk. What's not to like!

]]> Comment on Should Libraries Get Out of the eBook Business? by Jessica http://librarianbyday.net/2012/03/07/should-libraries-get-out-of-the-ebook-business/comment-page-2/#comment-26756 Jessica Mon, 14 May 2012 21:41:13 +0000 http://librarianbyday.net/?p=7020#comment-26756 While not a toddler, my 5 year old does have an e-reader and loves it. Many of her friends use them as well. We aren't "rich" but we knew for our family it was something worth saving and providing for her. We do storytime with both real books and Ebooks at our house. Ebooks aren't the devil and they aren't trying to drive away "real" books either. There is room for both. I want my daughter to continue to love to read. And if she likes to read on an e-reader, I'm going to encourage that that. It's actually much easier for her to have to keep up with ONE thing than the bags of books we used to lug around everywhere.

My library (Memphis Public) has a decent and easy system for checking out ebooks. They don't have everything of course, but the waiting lists are always manageable (My longest wait is for Game of Thrones and in 2 weeks I've gone from 54th on the list to 17th) and the process to put them on my kindle (and take them off) couldn't be simpler. A few clicks and it's done. I LOVE checking out free ebooks even if they don't have everything I want. I've read probably 40 books from the library ebook collection in the past 2.5 months. I'm not one to complain about FREE. I would love to see the system evolve and grow, but I am very happy with what they have to offer because they don't have to offer anything.
