Thank scotsgirl,I am very glad to see members sharing the resources for reading material they have discovered with members on this thread.Frances,your having to "wait and wait" due to having a Nook may be solved by dint of the fact that there is a website called ebookfling.com,which allows the loaning of e-books across the various e-reader platforms.I was just notified of this site,so no,I have not had the chance to "kick the tires" on this site as of yet,but am passing this site on to our members for them to check out.
Ah yes,there is a vast array of e-readers and formats out there,a situation we have seen before with AM vs FM radio receivers and later VHS vs Beta-max format video tapes.One source of info that might resolve some of these e-books always seeming to be available only in other formats is to take a look at the mobileread.com website.
