I'm a fan of eBooks and this is why was created by Timetrvlr
I'm a voracious reader, going through several novels a week. As you can imagine, that would be very expensive if I bought new hardback or even pocket book editions. So, I use my local lending library as much as possible and buy a few used books but my main resource is eBooks for economy and because my eyesight is dimming and I prefer large text for ease of reading.
My Province has has a great digital lending library so I can check out eBooks there and enlarge the text as much as I like on my tablet or eReader. Unfortunately, there is always a long waiting list for first-run books so I turn to Google Play Amazon or Smashwords. New best sellers are 1/3 to 1/4 of bookstore pricing. Amazon Kindle reader software is free to download for tablets and Amazon has a free lending library of less popular books.
I also subscribe to Bookbub and Early Bird notification services. Every day I get e-mail notifications of three or four on-sale books from both services. The notifications list all the eBook sellers that have the books on sale that day.

I have an Amazon Kindle Fire which I love. And use there free library now and again. I also run a book club on another site. I do enjoy reading and prefer to read different genres.
We could have a new topic on here and review books if anyone wants to.
