My friend is big into Civil War literature and the Nook gives him access to books you could not readliy find in a library. Personally, I prefer a book in my hand, but another friend uses hers while standing at her cash register wiating for customers to appear. Some books download for free, others need to be "purchased", and others are are a loan. After the 3 weeks, it just disappears from the screen.Mrs Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11727732079548397589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-69747450074263371852011-06-10T08:36:34.397-05:002011-06-10T08:36:34.397-05:00None of the bird feeders was touched, so I’m hopin...None of the bird feeders was touched, so I’m hoping this was a passing fancy for them.<br /><br />I believe you meant "were" touched.<br /><br />:)Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082479246607518893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-86391404240844178452011-06-10T08:25:52.542-05:002011-06-10T08:25:52.542-05:00Another book resource is http://www.bookcrossing.c...Another book resource is http://www.bookcrossing.com. This is a free community of read-and-release books. It's fun - you can track books you have "released into the wild" to see if someone has picked 'em up. "Zones" work like any swap library. Heck, the camp where you are might have a swap library that could become a zone or you could start one! Just an idea for you . . . :)Texas Yellow Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18416672836387064595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-27736435534417863912011-06-09T22:10:09.016-05:002011-06-09T22:10:09.016-05:00I have a Kindle and an iPad, but the library is st...I have a Kindle and an iPad, but the library is still where I look first for a good read.Linda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706455533282204519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-2053558513000803092011-06-09T12:49:21.931-05:002011-06-09T12:49:21.931-05:00The site we are parked in this summer has a tree f...The site we are parked in this summer has a tree face. It makes me smile.<br /><br />I have a Nook I think is about to go to our daughter. I love it but now that I have an iPad I find I read on it because it let's me switch so easily to other tasks then back to reading when I want a break.

Don't know about you, but we had 4 1/2" of rain and bad lightening last night and this morning. One huge bolt of lightening about 7:30 this AM while we were sitting on our front porch YIKES!! We heard the electrical "spark" first, then saw the huge flash of light.. Dennis even checked around our house to make sure we had nothing on fire!

I don't know about the newer ones, they are probably better, but I love mine. It downloads books wirelessly from Amazon.com. Most of them are $9.99 or less for newer books, and free for lots of others. The e-book readers are cheaper now, and if I got another one, I'd still get a Kindle, but you can check on line for what the different books offer. The Kindle is easily read in the sunshine, unlike some others, and has the wireless feature.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-20853146401762612452011-06-08T23:10:17.209-05:002011-06-08T23:10:17.209-05:00I hope nobody walks by that tree in the dark.

However, when I'm at home, I still read books the old-fashioned way. <br /><br />I can download e-books from the library onto my Nook, only, like physical books, they need to be returned to the library after 3 weeks (very easy to do electronically. If your daughter's library offers e-books, you can also load them onto your computer (and read them on the computer) using Adobe Digital Editions. Someone at the library should be available to help you learn how to do this or at least be able to direct you to the e-books website.Carol Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428623116947826625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-26312725542964951012011-06-08T22:07:04.987-05:002011-06-08T22:07:04.987-05:00Where did you get the tree face??
