#22 Explore E-Books and Audiobooks
Over two million books available at World eBook Fair---amazing and amazing. This is a world library that takes my breath away. I was sadly disappointed that the search tool was cumbersome and the results kept yielding broken links.....Ho Hum. I'll explore more when I run out of other apps :-)
Librivox looks like a great tool also--and the instructions for "How to Listen" were very helpful. I can see this application for bibliophiles and reluctant readers alike. It would also be useful for struggling readers of ELL's.
I went to the British Library and looked at images only of virtual books---saw pages from William Blake's notebook. OH MY!! You can download software to "turn the pages" but I was in too much of a hurry and sometimes those downloads are so*&&^^% tedious! All I can say is wow! I really want to share this with everyone---even strangers on the street.
OK---the great list of the best places to get free books is on friedbeef.com........the WWW is a fascinating intersection----or colliding worlds! Great resource to share.
