Great info. Thanks. I’ll go with Kindle.

Kindle is the best option, in my opinion. There are some extra steps, because you get dropped onto the Kindle Books site and you have to be sure your device is registered with Amazon Kindle. The book is much more accessible in this format, however. You can read these in the Kindle app. The overdrive app is not terribly accessible, and Adobe Digital Editions isn't much better. I usually just go for reading a library book with the Kindle app on the iDevice.

They have several formats from which to choose as a default. Has anyone had experience with these, and if one may be best from this source? I understand the formats to be: ePub via Adobe Open ePub (which they said was not real flexible) Kindle(I was told this is a bit more cumbersome in terms of getting the book ) PDF (but this is not widely available for many books) So, I’m guessing it’s ePub via Adobe or Kindle. I have a Kindle account and read books with this app regularly, but the librarian kind of scared me off saying it required more steps. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
