eBooks

Sometimes you need a certain book right now and you don't want to take the time to go to the library or pay money at a bookstore. If this is you, you might want to read books on your computer or other device (like an iPad or Kindle). Or you might want to download a book to an iPod or other similar device so you can listen to it while you drive. Here are some sites that might help you find what you need:
