It was really cold yet sunny out yesterday, a good day to stay home and learn something new.
My daughter and her boyfriend had gifted me with a Kindle Paperwhite for Christmas and it has encouraged me to learn how to download ebooks from the local library. I am late to the party, but I found out that I could download the 'Overdrive' app on my windows computer. Overdrive is supported on other devices too. It allows you to borrow ebooks from the library and comes with its own e-reader. You can even download library audio books or stream library videos using Overdrive. To use the library services of course you need a library card with a password. This is still a learning process but I have borrowed my first e-book and read it. You return it with the click of a button I believe.
After all that, it seems downloading library books to Kindle devices is not supported outside of the US for the moment. However, you can copy your own e-books (via usb) or email them to your Kindle. I had an e-book on PDF that I was able to transfer from my computer onto my Kindle. I love learning new things but my motivation is to keep up with changes. I do believe paper books will be around in my lifetime.
I recently got these new alcohol ink art markers pictured below. Michaels sends out good coupons by email and I was happy to get this set of 6 at 45% off using the coupon. The shades are: denim, pastel blue, spearmint, green, sage and mocha.
