How Much Can You Save? ? $40+ monthly on Electronic Books for Your Reading Device
Making It Work:
Are you enjoying the latest trend in reading with an electronic reading device? There are plenty:
Amazon Kindle, Apple iPad, Barnes & Noble’s Nook, Sony’s e-Readers, Onyx’s Booxes, Pocketbooks and many others.
Since most of these readers offer you the latest mainstream books at reduced pricing, you’re already paying less money for electronic books than for printed ones. But did you know many public libraries offer to loan ebooks for free?
Depending on the library, you can access the latest books written by your favorite top authors for nothing!
Financially, this is amazing when you think about it, particularly if you’re an avid reader. All you have to do is get out your library card and access your local library’s website using your device. You’ll most likely be asked to enter your library card number early in the process. Navigate to the library’s e-resources webpage, which they’ll have if they offer electronic books.
There, you’ll find a link to the listing of devices onto which you can download the library’s ebooks. Use your device and the library’s software to proceed through the process step-by-step. Then, browse their current electronic book library. Once you find a book you like, click the “download” button to load the electronic book onto your device.
The books will remain on your device for you to read for two to four weeks, depending on the library’s terms and whether your selection is a new book or not.
Depending on how much you read and how often you purchase books for your device, you stand to save $40 or even more monthly accessing your library’s electronic book collection.
Why spend your hard-earned money on books to read once? If you check out electronic books at your local library you won’t pay a single cent!
You can read all you want at no cost to you. Plus, some libraries also offer magazines, journals and other resources electronically for free as well.
Now, that’s a great way to save money and still live well.
