I have just visited the World EBook Fair and was amazed at how many books are available free of charge or at a reasonable price. I myself have never been a fan of reading off the computer for any length of time, I would much rather have something to hold onto. It is a resource that any library could use to make books available that they would not have to purchase outright. Under the topics that I looked at I didn't see anything that was free, but the prices were not unreasonable. I am wondering if it would be something that the library should subscribe to, to make more resources available to the students??
Unfortunately I am using a school laptop which prevents me from downloading any necessary software to listen to these books. LibriVox website was down, British Library Online Gallery was not available due to software constraints, but the "Best Places to Get Free Books" was a really great resource that I can share with students and colleagues.
