SOME OF US ARE VERY NEW TO DIGITAL AND ELECTRONIC READING
and we haven't yet decided to drop a handful of twenties on the counter in order to purchase an electronic reader like a Kindle, Nook, Ibook, Kobo, etc. We do, however, have a PC, laptop or tablet. Guess what... WE TOO CAN ENJOY EBOOKS! And we should. Although many of us struggle to get past not turning physical pages, we don't actually have the capacity in our homes to store thousands of books either, therefore, the digital or electronic format book is a much better option, not to mention that Ebooks are typically less expensive than their printed counterparts.
The BIG NAME READERS like Kindle and Nook have free versions of their reader to download on your PC. With either of these two readers, you'll be able to read most of the electronic books in print. You can download them for your device quickly and easily and be ready to enjoy reading your favorite authors, like Bil Howard, immediately.
KINDLE FOR PC DOWNLOAD
NOOK FOR PC DOWNLOAD
The DIFFERENT FORMATS can be a problem. You typically can't read Nook Ebooks on a Kindle and you can't read Kindle Ebooks on a Nook. If you discover that you often change between Barnes and Noble whose Ebooks come in EPUB format and Amazon whose Ebooks come in MOBI format, you'll be tempted to have both Ereaders on your PC. That's not necessary, in fact, though I have the Kindle For PC software on my computer, I typically prefer to use my Calibre Reader, because it will not only allow you to read either EPUB or MOBI format books, but will allow you to convert them if you prefer one or the other formats. Calibre also comes in a free download that is specifically designed to fit your particular device.
CALIBRE DOWNLOAD
All in all, I RECOMMEND that even if you download one or the other Ereaders that are listed above, you ought to have Calibre on your computer as well. If you own either a Nook or a Kindle or one of the other Ereaders, I still recommend having the Calibre download on your device. Why? Because it allows you to buy any book in any format and convert it, if necessary, to fit another. With a Calibre download on your PC, you are not limited to what format of Ebook you can read.
Happy Reading!!!
