I'm a Kindle owner, but also a librarian. When I read books, I tend to default to libraries first. Because I like free things, even if they take a little more effort.

Library Unlimited
Earlier this week, Amazon broke news about it's Kindle Unlimited subscription for $9.99/month. This lets Kindle users borrow from 600,000 available books and audiobooks. While some people are suggesting getting rid of libraries and buying everyone Kindles, many others pointed out, like Barbara Fister at Inside Higher Ed and Donna Tam at CNET, Kindle Unlimited isn't so "unlimited."

ongoing debate about e-textbooks
Last week our student liaison posted a question on the blog about students' feelings about ebooks and ereaders. Langsdale is considering having a few ereaders available for check out. Interestingly, I just read an story in the New York Times regarding students' disinterest in ebooks. I encourage you to read the story and let us know what you think!
