Every now and then I have a purge and get rid of books I no longer want.<br /><br />At the moment I mostly read history books and they lead me to out of print books, which means a long wait after requesting a copy at the library or paying a premium for a second hand book. <br /><br />I found that most of the books are available to download (or read online) from 'The Gutenberg Project' and/or 'Open Library'. So last year I obtained an iPad Mini so I can download and read the books whilst I am 'sitting comfortably'. The iPad also allows me to sit in comfort and browse the internet rather than log onto my computer.CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130463693430089737.post-56990142486072702932014-06-09T10:12:52.525-07:002014-06-09T10:12:52.525-07:00Man bag!
