As I am running out of actual books to read, I find myself considering ebooks. So many things you have to love about them and so many things to despise.
I have loved the idea, since I was a youngster, of reading then selling or borrowing or lending books with out limits or conditions.
Enter the future...Ebooks....
Ebooks offer a lot of conveniences and are becoming more and more popular. You can carry volumes of information right in your pocket. Depending on the application used to read them, you can highlight and take notes, place unlimited bookmarks with lables to describe what you bookmarked. (Long run on sentences are my specialty)
Things you lose...
No more glancing at the book to see how much is left to read. No more reading second hand books or turning yours into one. (Some like Barns and Noble or Amazon are developing a lending feature but that is publisher specific but it has various restrictions)
Now if I could find an ebook library that would be awesome. I might even be willing to pay a small subscription fee. My requirements of the library are that I must be able to read as many books as I want to. The selection must include new books as well, not just the 300,000 or so copy right free books out there. I would model it after Netflix. Some books having a time limit on them to read, but with the option to buy if I wanted.
If anyone knows of a place like that please let me know or feel free to take this idea and run with it as I don't have the capital needed to start it.
