PS - It is slowly dawning on me that once i order e-books by way of Download Destination/Overdrive (my library), I really need to order older books, so if I can’t finish them in the 2-week allotment, I can verify them right back out. A lot of the books I’ve been getting (and I love this feature of my library, by the best way) - are newer books - I’m on a waiting record to get them in the first place, and then if I don’t finish them, I've to go back to the end of the road again. I do have a cheat - I can flip off my wi-fi (esp on my older Kindle which is Only for reading) and keep them as long as I need to. That is an issue I have discussed in the Kindle boards on amazon ebooks and apparently nobody is damage by doing it (besides maybe the writer within the off likelihood I might determine to buy the e book as a substitute of going to the back of the line) - the next individual in line still will get it, amazon ebooks if I perceive appropriately. But in fact older books probably aren’t as out there for e-readers. Hmmmm. I'm wondering about that. I’m going to go experiment. I’m additionally loving Goodreads for maintaining monitor of all these good suggestions. In the notes section I put the place I got the recommendation, and the date I put it on hold at my library.
