I don't normally buy them and don't have a real reason not to, I just rather have the book. Now if I get an ebook for free, or sent to me by the author, I read it. Once in a blue I buy an ebook here and there for 99 cents, but I don't really buy ebooks.Good Choice Readinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642003814176567517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-4662628567307175302011-09-24T22:51:35.365-04:002011-09-24T22:51:35.365-04:00Yes, it is.

I think that the students should be able to choose if they want to read a certain book, without their parents' "permission".<br /><br />As for the digital books, I rarely read and buy such. I actually buy my books at the store, and I haven't visited the public library in three to four years. I only check out books from my school if I can't find it at Target. lol"<br />So, in this case, I would borrow the book since it's not a physical copy that I can keep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-86884162268351589172011-09-24T16:22:09.421-04:002011-09-24T16:22:09.421-04:00I work at a library that's making e-books avai...I work at a library that's making e-books available to borrow starting next month, and I don't see how it will affect sales any more than physical books in libraries do. While the copy is digital, our library only purchased one copy. That one copy can only be checked out to one person at a time for a specified period of time, with one renewal. You would still have to put a hold on a book not available at that time.<br /><br />Anyone who buys books to have them whenever they want them, and not have to wait for them to be returned (me), will still be buying. I think it's cool and we get so many questions about it that not having it available would only hurt us.SarahSparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788613406214134743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158531286462009257.post-8288756411680137502011-09-24T16:08:11.390-04:002011-09-24T16:08:11.390-04:00I think it's a great idea; you have to buy the...I think it's a great idea; you have to buy the e-reader but then you can "borrow" books from the private library for those authors you don;t know and want to try or the books you know you would not read over!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981805997369858686noreply@blogger.com
