Oh, yeah, and I don't want to archive, because then I'd have to redownload, and for me, the bandwidth is actually the biggest cost of the damn thing because of the wonky 3g. Well, that and it turns out I'm not actually getting all that much from the store. So working 3g wouldn't have helped me.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I hadn't realised how many free books I'd downloaded. I'm a crazy person. It's not like I've started reading any of the hundred+ that are lying there.
But, you know, if I ever need the Yellow Fairy Book, I know where it is.

ita, did you know that the LAPL allows you to download free books too. For a short period of time, that is (like 21 days). I've been using lots of those books too.

Right? So much for you, Amazon.
I ended up signing up with the Philadelphia library to get my library books. I don't have my credentials yet, but when I do, whoo, library books on my nook.

I'm missing something obvious, Kat. I'm puttering around NetLibrary, and although it says I limited my list to downloadable books, it's bringing up an Opera-unfriendly viewer. I created a NetLibrary account and everything, and no book is showing me check out and download options.
Can you tell me a title you downloaded?

I don't use NetLibrary but Overdrive because I also get audio stuff for school. A Title I just downloaded was Very LeFreak.

If it doesn't work, ita, I'll try to recreate the steps I took. It was a pain the ass to get everything to work but now it's kinda great.

I think I got it working, Kat, but damn that was a lot of steps. And installs. And glayvin.
Now I just have to remember to read those damned books. The selection was irritatingly low. Most of the stuff I wanted wasn't available. The artificial restriction on resources is annoying, although I understand it's not financially viable to have infinite copies.

They make it painfully difficult, don't they?
I'm on a lot of waiting lists for books there. They have some stuff I'm excited about. And yes, the resource restriction blows.
BUT it means I don't have to go to a branch to get books and I like that. And free.
