It's a scary year. NO NEW BOOKS! (at least not the hard copy kind). And I had to "get rid" of almost 1/2 my collection! So here are some apps that eased the pain. If you are going through a similar down sizing and money saving effort, I hope this works for you too.
- Goodreads-- This app allows you to rate and track the books that you have read. For readers who love collecting this might be a good substitute. You can start a digital collection rather than hold onto a physical one.
- Nook, iBooks, and Kindle- again, changing from a physical collection to a digital one. I was firmly opposed to digital books when they first came out. How could an electronic replace my treasured books? Then I had to move. The next year I also had to move. The year after that I made my third move. A low weight kindle, or now an app on my iphone, were much easier to move and keep up with.
- Overdrive-- I am lucky that my local library uses overdrive. This way I an check out books digitally and never have to worry about late fines
- Audible-- It allows me to listen to my favorite books while driving and exercising.
