Re: Topic heading. Don't you need eyes to read? Me, I need a spare set of eyes on top of the originals.

 I used to have the spare set of eyes but had an eye op last year and now do not need the spare set of eyes

I have re-posted because my last one was marked as spam, I guess because I mentioned a Brand name.   You don't need to purchase books to read on your computer or e-reader. Libraries such as Yarra Plenty and Brisbane allow you to borrow for up to 4 weeks and I think you can have 10 out at a time.  You can join online. Yarra Plenty's website is www.yprl.vic.gov.au

It is a problem when one is travelling Aus to pick up books from a liburay in one state and return them to another state, they don't allow that in WA.

....................................................................

 This is on the link you posted;

Amazon's very savvy and they've actually made the Kindle reading software available for a wide range of devices, ranging from Apple iPads and Android tablets to smartphones and, yes, Mac and PC systems.

Vic, did you look at that link that Brenda put up?

No I haven't yet, but will.....thanks Brenda!

If you want to read a whole book, the e-readers are the way to go. The "e-ink" type display is much easier on the eyes than lcd type screens even though they are only black and white.

 This is very true, using an e-reader like Kindle is like reading a normal book but when I read on a computer type screen my eyes start complaining after a while.

If you want to read ebooks on the computer & the like there are free programs on sites like 'download.com'  that either will let you read the ebook format or convert it so your computers understands, for example change it to txt, rtf or m/soft Word format.
