E-Books

Description:  An eBook is an electronic version of a traditional print book.



Material Covered:  Downloading books from your local library and free books from Google; and the OverDrive Media Console application.

What I learned:  I learned how to download a book from Google.  I learned that the Thorold and St. Catharines libraries do not offer the downloading of books.

Best Features:  To be able to download audio books. I prefer to have the actual book to read but when in the car on long trips it really passes the time to listen to an audio book.

Problems/Limitations:  The main limitation at the present time is that the local libraries do not offer the option of downloading books.  The free books from Google often only have a few pages for you to read and not the entire book.

What I would still like to learn:  How to download e-books from the library.
