Supposedly their is an app where NY state residents have access to the library systems entire ebook inventory for free, you just have to sign up.

But to each their own, not flawless devices of course.
That's how we ended up with a Kindle (and I discovered that I could retain what I read off an e-device), my wife is a voracious reader as well. She'll blow through a few hundred page novel in a matter of hours over a weekend. Our little house just doesn't have enough room for a library.

I'll have to look to see if CT offers a similar program.
