December 26, 2014 (San Diego)--If you were lucky enough to have a tablet or e-book reader waiting for you in a gift box this season, the San Diego County Library is ready to help you use your new gift.
From a large catalog of titles available for download to tutorials on how to use your e-reader to hands-on workshops to help you get started, there’s something for everyone.
Everything you need to get reading e-books is on one convenient page on the library’s website. It’s easy to browse the collection and select the e-book you want.
Thousands of e-books are available for download, from Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl” and George R.R. Martin’s “A Game of Thrones” to The Hunger Games trilogy. There are guides to photography and plumbing, cookbooks, how-to guides and even Twitter for Dummies. Just like any library book, they’re all free of charge and accessible to anyone with a County Library card. An added bonus – e-books are automatically “returned” to the library, so there are no late fees.
The library provides online instructions for Apple devices, Kindle and Kindle Fire, Nook, Sony Reader, Android, Windows 8 devices and MP3 players, including video tutorials for many of them.
If you’re looking for more personal instruction, the Library regularly holds e-book workshops at eight of its branches.
