You read that correctly! The largest downside to the Kindle, high prices on books, has now been eliminated! Anyone can now go online, borrow ebooks from the library, and then download them to their personal device without ever leaving the house or paying a cent. That is pretty much the best news since "it's a healthy girl" in my book.
In our neck of the woods, you just visit this part of the King County Library System and follow a few simple steps. It took me a few tries before I was quick at the process, but it really is not very difficult to understand. First you put the book in your digital "bag" go through "check out" and then log in to Amazon to push the book to your Kindle. You get to keep it for three weeks which is more than enough time to read the average novel.
As if that were not enough, you can actually check out up to twenty books at a time. That may sound crazy, but if you are using your Kindle on a long trip, twenty might be a reasonable number. Think about that; a whole stack of books will take up almost no space at all. One last bit of icing on the cake is that there are children's picture books available too. That way, when you aren't busy reading Proust or Huxley or The Naughty Duke, your child can enjoy some Go Dogs Go.
