My smartphone just keeps getting better and better.
From past posts, you know that I love the e-reader capabilities that it has.
And it has just gone up another notch in my opinion.
My small local library is part of a larger library organization in my state that offers downloadable books for computers, phones, and tablets.
They have all the new ones, and they are downloaded for a set amount of time - just like the physical books in a library.
But since the whole state is involved, many of the books are already "checked" out.
So you put yourself on a waiting list for the more popular ones.
The one I wanted put me as number 63, and a week later, I am down to 56.
It's going to take awhile for that one, but I was able to find a different one that was available right away.
It is really a cool way to "borrow" books.
And they have tons of audio ones too if one would rather listen to the books being read.
All I had to do to sign up was dig out my old library card - the numbers on it were still valid after all these years.
Technology just keeps getting better all the time!
