Are you shopping for an e-book reader? CNET has a nice comparison of the Nook, Kindle and iPad you can read here. There is another article comparing a wide range of e-book readers at TopTenReviews.
Kindle owners can now download eBooks from the library's OverDrive website. All you need is your library barcode (LION library members) and your Kindle account. You can find detailed instructions at Amazon. You can also view our help documents for the Kindle or the Nook.
