I had a couple of hundred books to read a year ago and now my library is getting pretty slim. Our local library isn't open so buying used books there or borrowing isn't an option. I thought about Kindle and wondered just what they're all about and if any of you have Kindles and what model. There seems to be quite a choice and I looked at the PaperWhite, but some reviews said that it had screen glare. I'd like an 8GB as I don't think I need storage capacity for 15,000 books with the 32GB. Do any of you out there have Kindles and what do you like or dislike about the different models available? And can you download books from your local library with a Kindle?

I use an app called “Overdrive” and download ebooks from our local library for free. It’s a great app that allows you to reserve books from your library if they are not immediately available and they will notify you when they do become available so you can download them. They give you 3 weeks to read the book. You can read the downloaded book and read it on kindle. Once the 3 weeks is up you will no longer be able to open the book unless you download it again. I’ve used it for years and my wife and I read hundreds of popular books over the years. Give it a try. You can use both apps - overdrive and Kindle - on any PC, IOS or Android device or Mac.
