Cortana Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Dh suprised me back in November, he braved Best Buy on Black Friday and got me one of the Nooks they had on sale then. I haven't really used it all that much, I debated for a while whether to return it thinking I really wouldn't use it. Then when the special was run on Jane Austen's birthday that all her books were free, well....I haven't put my Nook down, I read it every night, lol! :D Here's where the idiot part comes in. ;) I've been searching all over for certain literature books I want to use with the boys next school year, agonizing over how much it was gonna cost me. Light bulb goes off and I check for ebook versions. Ta da!!!! I now have all but 3 of the books I need and paid a whopping 95 cents for everything. Silly me for actually spending all that time and worry searching for books when I could have them all for less than a dollar all along. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy! oooo, and have you started borrowing books from the library on the nook? I would if they had anything I wanted to borrow, lol! Our library system has a very limited selection available. Hopefully it'll grow soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photo Ninja Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You can join other libraries that offer ebooks. The Philadelphia Free Library has a HUGE selection of ebooks and it only costs $15/year to get a library card if you don't live in their district. Then you can check out their ebooks.
