Putting epub books on the iPad or iTouch

If you have a residence in the US, you can borrow eBooks or audiobooks from your local library. You just need a library card. I live in Minneapolis and can choose from over 17,000 eBooks or audiobooks through the library. There are many devices that can be used and it is always being updated with new devices - just last week, downloads were made available for Kindle devices.

I don't own an eReader. Hey, what can I say? I can't decide which one to get and they change as fast as a street light. I do own an iTouch and have access to an iPad; hence, I decided to put my library books on these devices and created a 30 second video on how to do it.

Free Audiobooks and eBooks

Did you know that you can borrow audiobooks and e-books for free from your local public library? You need to get a library card in Taipei or the States. In Taipei, you have to go in-person to get a library card. The closest  libraries to TAS are Shipai and Tianmu. You need to bring your ARC/passport and fill out an application form. If you want a library card for your child you need a to bring your household registration certificate. More detailed information is at the Taipei Public Library website: http://english.tpml.edu.tw/lp.asp?ctNode=42528&CtUnit=5343&BaseDSD=7&mp=104022. In the States, the application varies depending where you live. I applied online. Audiobooks and e-books can be downloaded to your iPod, Nook,  MP3 Player, Android, iPhone, iTouch and more. E-books will be available for download to the Kindle some time this year.

I have created a video that shows photos of the Shipai and Tianmu libraries, as well as, how to download e-books: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCAmYGVTMgE[/youtube]
