Description
Have a Kindle, or think you might want/need one? What’s all the buzz about electronic books? In this class, we will discuss all the various devices and apps you can use to read an eBook, either one you purchase, or one you check out of the library. You will learn the different file types that go with each type of device or app, how to download books for reading on your Kindle, iPhone/iPad or Android phone or tablet, and how to check out books from your local library on the Libby app. In addition, we will go over some of the prominent features of eBooks such as the ability to change font size and brightness, bookmark and highlight passages, look up definitions of words in the dictionary and Wikipedia, search using keywords and share what you are reading with others. You will learn about the different websites where you can download free eBooks and how you can keep track of all the books you have read and see reviews of books you might want to read on Goodreads. Come with your devices and questions.
