eBooks

Hello again, all! Okay, so I read the instructions, which I found to be quite lengthy and repetitive, and then proceeded to look for an eBook to check out. I settled on Pride and Prejudice, although "settled" is not the right word. Below is the actual picture shown to me by overdrive. Yay. That was a couple of days ago and I was actually able to locate my book again. I like that you can click on the footnote and go directly to the note rather than having to flip to the back of the book. However, I did get lost in the footnotes and had trouble finding my way back to the page that I had been reading. Then I helped I guy locate books on falconry... not in eBooks, just in the library.
I have mixed feelings about eBooks. I understand how it's really convenient to be able to simply download a book to your computer or device and how you can travel and have tons of books to read without having to actually carry around tons of books. I just don't like reading from a screen--I like real books. I like the way the pages feel. And I especially like watching my bookmark move closer and closer to the end of the book.
