Sure, ereaders are wonderfully convenient devices that can save you a lot of space. But can you save the same amount of money with an ereader as you would reading paperback and hardcover books? The answer is yes. Your local library can be the key to not only renting one book at a time, but loading up your ereader for free.
OverDrive is a digital distribution and publishing company that is essential to accessing free ebooks. It partners up with thousands of libraries, schools and universities around the world to help give access to ebooks on any ereader device. And since the OverDrive service works on Mac OS systems, Windows computers, iOS devices, Android devices, Windows phones and tons of ereaders and tablets, you should be able to take any device and borrow an ebook to read (if there's a library nearby in your search results).
Here's what you do when you visit OverDrive. Just head over to their search engine, click "Library Search," type in your ZIP or postal code and search.
