Thing 10-Ebooks

So let me start by saying I am a huge huge huge reader. Not as much as I would like do to two very cute, but very time consuming kiddos. My husband bought me a Kindle for christmas figuring it would be great for me when I was home caring for my baby. His thought was I could hold her, rock her, or nurse her while still reading. Since with the Kindle you don't need to turn pages you just click a button it would be easy, and it was. I loved it. I still love real books and have a small problem when going into library book sales or Barnes and Noble, but there is something nice about the ability to have my Kindle in my hand and if I want to read it is a flick of a switch and its on. Not to mention you can buy just about any book and have it downloaded to the Kindle in less then 30 seconds. As far as the NHS catalog is concerned, I think it is great that we are staring to have this digital resources for students. As we move into a more digital age I think that more and more colleges will be having collections on line rather than in stack in a building somewhere. I think but have such a vast collection it helps prepare students for the future. Additionally, I think that be suscribing to the ebooks that our library does it allows for a great diversity among the choices that students have. Not to mention for those last minute students (and we know there are hundreds of them) this allows them to work from home rather than have remembered to do their work ahead of time and go to the library and photocopy materials. Although personally I am a long way from going completely digital with my reading, I do think this is the way the future is moving and perhaps its time that everyone start to get on board before they miss out!
