PS - It's slowly dawning on me that when i order e-books via Download Destination/Overdrive (my library), I really have to order older books, so if I can’t end them in the 2-week allotment, I can test them proper again out. Many of the books I’ve been getting (and I love this characteristic of my library, by the way in which) - are newer books - I’m on a ready checklist to get them in the primary place, and then if I don’t finish them, I have to return to the tip of the line again. I do have a cheat - I can flip off my wi-fi (esp on my older Kindle which is Only for reading) and keep them as long as I want to. This is an argument I have mentioned in the Kindle forums on Amazon and apparently nobody is harm by doing it (except maybe the writer in the off likelihood I'd resolve to buy the e-book as a substitute of going to the again of the line) - the subsequent person in line still gets it, if I perceive correctly. But in fact older books in all probability aren’t as out there for e-readers. Hmmmm. I ponder about that. I’m going to go experiment. I’m additionally loving Goodreads for conserving track of all these good recommendations. In the notes section I put where I obtained the suggestion, and the date I put it on hold at my library.
