"Overdrive" is the main digital supplier. Their site is here:

OverDrive – Global distributor of digital eBooks, audiobooks, music & video for library, school & retail

That might give you some answers.

Marketing. If there's no waitlist for loaning system, people will abuse it and not buy the books, "publishers, authors and everything else" will lose out on extra money.

I need to Google for a glossary on these kinds of stuff. "Partners", "Distributions", "Rights", "Cycles", "Marketing strategies", and stuff like that. Fun fun

EDIT:
"Publishers, authors, and everyone else" gets paid by "library" to loan books out -> Either the people interested in book title, say, "Water for Elephants" and buy it if people don't want to wait to loan it out -> People either like the book title and... gah. stopping here. I need to take Business class.

What's interesting is how he ties together various inventions and developmenst, and shows how one thing leads to another.

For instance, Mr. Roebuck's mail-order catalogue and the development of Rural Free Delivery to people living on isolated farms led to the development of an entirely new sort of community - people united by what they buy, not by where they live or whether they even know each other.

And I LOVE my Nook - I can toss this 800-plus page book into my beach bag, for the weight of a paperback! How cool is THAT!! Speaking of interesting inventions that have changed our lives, eh??

There should be a book about the people who made modern American life possible... I mean the illegal immigrants who work for nothing to build our homes, wash our dishes, pick out grapes/fruit/lettuce/etc, and so on and so on.

And lets not forget the 6 year old kids working in Malaysian sweatshops and the billion Chinese laborers all name Sum Por Chum...

Of course nobody wants to tell that story...

Gave up on the Devil book and can't read the Lord of the Flies. The library did not have it in large print.

Kristina,

Let me know how Dead Reckoning is! I've not read that one yet. I think after I finish my present book, I'll start with Book One and read them all, and then read #11.

So far, it's really good. 247 pages and I am on 183.

Just finished the book. It was very good and now I am looking forward to another. Hopefully it will come soon.

**LDNanna** · 07-14-2011, 10:25 PM

Sign Language Made Easy. (not) and Water for Elephants will be next. After that I have the second Dexter novel.

Audiofuzzy · 07-16-2011, 03:24 AM

I just remembered- anyone who likes True Blood,
should look into "Undead and...." series by Mary Janice Davidson:

The Undead Series - Betsy - MaryJanice Davidson

It's not as sophisticated as True Blood, but it's so funny !!!

I am reading Zodiac by Robert Graysmith. It's about the killer "The Zodiac" who murdered some people in the late 1960's and early 1970's. He would write letters to the police and the newspaper companies, basically taunting them. He was never caught.

The screen of the Kindle was really annoying, I thought. It does a sort of flash, bang thing when you turn the page that I found very disruptive. The Nook has a speedy and unobtrusive page-turning ability. Just a quick flicker, and that's it.

I like the size of it very much. I bought a cover for it and with the cover, it's about the same size as the average paper-back, and very easy to hold and read. I take it with me outside quite a bit, and no problem reading in the sun.

It won't work for magazines, so if you want magazine subscriptions, you'll want the new Nook Color version.

So far I have not bought any books for it. I just check books out on-line from the library. That works very well and it serves me just fine. That said, I am on the waiting list for about a dozen books, and I can see it's going to take quite a while to get down to me, as I'm 32 out of 50 on one, 12 out of 20 on another, that sort of thing. So I might eventually break down and buy copies of the things I want to read, but so far I'm doing fine being, um, frugal. Some would say "cheap."

I'll keep that in mind when i get around to buying a Nook or Kindle.

I'm rereading the Harry Potter series one through five (I'm on number two now). Then I'll attempt to get past page 85 in the 6th book, then purchase the 7th and read that.

Buffalo · 07-20-2011, 02:44 AM

I am reading "An Echo in the Bone" by Diana Gabaldon. I had finished "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" by Jules Verne. I had watched the movie long time ago but never read the book until recently.

Miss-Delectable · 07-22-2011, 02:29 AM

Just finished reading 'Forever Norton' by Peter Gethers

Must admit I cried a bit at the end.

I am reading Based Upon Availability by Alix Strauss. It's interesting so far. I can really relate to some of the characters.

Other than that, I'm working on getting through some of Tess Gerritsen's books - namely, the Rizzoli & Isles series. Since I like the TV show, I thought it'd be worth checking out the books.
