Task #4: Downloading eBooks

After reviewing a couple of articles in Consumer Reports, it seems as though tablets, instead of specific ereader devices, are the way to go. Tablets such as Apple's iPad or Android varieties offer an ereader app, while allowing you much more versatility. I like the idea of being able to not only read an ebook, but surf online, access email, and download music. In addition, tablets are in color - an important feature for a visual person like myself.

Cari's instructions for the downloading ebooks are excellent - very thorough. Here are the first three steps to downloading ebooks:

1. Go to the library's website and click on "Downloadable Media" under "Books and More."

2. Find the OverDrive icon and select "Adobe Digital Editions," if you're a newcomer.

3. Click on the "Install" button so that you can download ebooks onto your computer, and then transfer to your ereader.
