I was loaned a free Kobo as part of a school's experiment with ebooks. It never functioned correctly and I was delighted when I had to give it back. I now have a Nook and a Sony to try out for school use and to borrow library books and a Kindle to buy books. You can't yet borrow library books on a Kindle, unless you subscribe to their own system. Sony ereaders are no longer being made for the export market and closed its store a while back, transferring business to Kobo, but I like it better than the Nook, which I feels less substantial. You can also download borrowed books from the library direct to the Sony via wifi, rather than through a computer. |
