Sony Digital Reader allows you to download books from your local library for free. Does Kindle offer this too?

The Amazon kindle is the best e-book reader on the market. With 8 weeks battery life, connection to Amazon Prime, and a capacity to hold over 100,000 books, you will be excited. Get it now!

1 The one answer so far is wrong. The Sony Reader uses the e-pub format, which means it can check out books from the NY Public Library online. The Kindle uses a different format and can't open e-pub books.

2 Wow, now we're cookin, MarzThePunk. That's more like it: e-books should be available to EVERYONE, not just people who can pay $10 a piece or whatever for them. Thanks so much for the info!

3 Oops, and I misspoke. The Sony Readers (there are three models) can check out books from any library that offers books in the e-pub format, not just the NY Public Library.

There are tons of free books directly from the Amazon website - mostly classics, public domain titles. Apart from all those, you can also add PDF files to your kindle (there is a recent update to Kindle firmware that allows this, and you do not need the KindleDX!). There is also a great (free) utility called Calibre that allows you to get free content easily into your Kindle.

Calibre will convert several ebook formats into your Kindle. It works very nicely indeed. You can even pull info from RSS feeds into Calibre and have it syncronized to your kindle every morning.

I do it everyday. Instead of having to read the news on my computer, I now take them with me in my Kindle. But again, for real books, there are tons of free public domain books right on the Amazon Kindle store.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
