I didn't think I was that quick a reader now days but wow uh I might actually struggle to afford to have an ebook on the go all year
@jenkshields Does your local library offer free ebooks? Most do these days. Might be a way to supplement your purchases.
@dani oh yes I was meaning to look into this, thanks!
@jenkshields I work in libraries so it’s an automatic thought, haha.
@jenkshields I just downloaded a book from ChCh library at 6pm this evening and then accidentally read it all in one go. I'm sure I was meaning to do other things this evening...
@zeborah ahhh turns out overdrive isn't compatible with kindle outside of the us! Dang
@jenkshields Oh, Kindle. Damn: yeah, I use a Kobo in order to avoid Amazon and am just lucky the setup the library can get works for that.
You *can* read the Overdrive ebooks on the web platform (I did that last night when the ebook mysteriously refused to download) but that's definitely not so convenient.
I guess at the same time I've maybe spent $40-60 in the last few weeks on... Four? Five books? Which is pretty dang good
