I find it annoying that the price of the Kindle download is often more than the cost of the paperback angry

Jangly you can't get ebooks onto a Kindly from the library...not yet but I think they are working on it. Seems unfair doesn't it?

You can get Kindle books on your android smart phone - go to the market and download the kindle app. You need an Amazon account.

Do you have to have an IPAD to read an ebook?

Hi
Does anyone out there 'borrow' ebooks from their local library? I do and think it's a great service (even though I can't work our how the whole software works!).
My only gripe is that you can only get 4 books at one time which just isn't enough for my holidays. I even tried setting up a separate digital account for my none ebook owner husband but it won't let me save more books to my reader.
Other than that I can't complain and read the whole of the Millenium series one after the other...and enjoyed it thoroughly.
