If you are a digital e-book reader or wannabe, today's tip shows you a quick way to locate a book and check it out for your mobile device! http://somup.com/cYnFlZhFHX
Today's tip via a screencast I made for you will lead you through the process of looking for a book and then checking it out for your device. It shows you a quick way to do a Google search to the locate the book you want to read and then check it out from the completed search. The screencast was made on my laptop, but you can do the same search on your mobile device (phone, tablet). The only difference is that on a phone you will not see a sidebar, you will just scroll down towards the bottom of your search once you've typed in the title.
In the last couple of years, I have begun checking out e-Books to read rather than purchasing them. It is so easy to do and has saved me lots of money.
At first I read on my iPad but my eyes tired easily when reading books on it using the Kindle App. So, then I tried a Kindle device (Paperwhite) and found it to be perfect for reading anytime night or day!
I began purchasing books on Amazon, which became costly, so when a friend introduced me to the e-Libraries available through our local library and State of Kansas Library, I switched from purchasing to borrowing......saving both money and time!
If you are already borrowing digital books and using Libby, Overdrive, or Cloud Library, I think you will find this Google search method to be much quicker!
Happy reading! If you run into problems or have questions as you start to read digitally, let me know.
