Another Blog?!

Yes, I decided that it would be wise to learn how to use WordPress, so I've started a second blog. It's more of a Readers' Advisory blog with reviews and library commentary.

Task #4-Downloading eBooks


The Nook is #1 in my book!

Found a cover story from December, 2010 which rates eReaders: "E-Book Readers, They've Never Been Better or Cheaper." Having used the Nook more than any of the others, I feel comfortable with it; it would be my choice were I to purchase one. Reasons I'm impressed with it: easy to read in the sun (as they all are, I believe), the touch screen is very responsive and easy to use, and it fits comfortably in my hands like a trade paperback. Of course, it's also compatible with Overdrive and since I purchase ebooks for the library, I would want to be sure that my device could take advantage of that!

Downloading to a Nook:
1. Turn on and wake up the Nook
2. Plug the Nook into the computer
3. Open Adobe Digial Editions
