Why Ebooks?1- I love ebooks (just my personal plug)

2- Convenience: Going on vacation? Take your Nook, Kindle, or Smartphone, etc. with you, and load up your device rather than your arms whether its 1, 10, or 100 books.

3- I temper this to say that while the ebook becomes more popular, and libraries give their consumers access to ebooks without cost so they don’t have to purchase them from the likes of Amazon or Barnes & Noble, that we should not lose sight of the physical book itself.

4- Don’t have a device like a Kindle or a Nook, but have a Smartphone with the ability to download apps, well look no further, you have an ereader.

2- As of May, 2012, there were over 5,000 ebooks available, mostly popular fiction and nonfiction, and recent bestsellers.

3- As can be the case, items in high demand will have waiting lists, so feel free to place a hold (up to 5).
