E-books have been popping up in the news everywhere lately. Regardless of one's stance on the copyright/number of uses issue, e-books seem to be here to stay. Did you know that most libraries have free downloadable audio books for computer and Ipod use and free e-books for Nooks and other e-readers? Library e-books will soon be available for Kindles as well. At the Ames Free Library through the SAILS website, there is a site called "Overdrive" where patrons can find detailed instructions on types of compatible devices, how to download software and place items on hold. Check out these links for more information:
