Also most libraries are linked w overdrive (an app) where you can download ebooks and audio books. Check w your library. Its easy to use. You borrow the books and return after a period of 7 or 14 days. I use overdrive for my audio books and love it as well

I’m a fan of print to be honest, but at the same time books are books. I use overdrive fort audio books bc I walk and listening to music just doesn’t work for me

A Library is a good choice. I’m going to say something that will probably be pretty unpopular, but please don’t pirate books. Books at a library are purchased and authors are paid some small amount. Most authors barely squeak by. Most have day jobs. If you want good books written, authors like every other worker, need to get paid. I do buy a load of e books on BookBub and on Bookperk. They are pretty inexpensive, usually $1.99. Those promotions by the publisher help get the book rankings up so that, hopefully, it will start getting noticed. Speaking of notice, if you love a book, leave a review. That also helps authors. But back to libraries, they rock, and many times, if they don’t have a book, they can get it for you.

Overdrive app. It’s an app you can link up with your library card and get ebooks lent that way. 🙂

Check with your local library. My library has a program where volunteers will even deliver books to those people who can’t physically come to the library for one reason or another. You create a wish list or submit a genre and obtain a library card and u enroll in the program free. Something to keep in the back of ur mind for people u may know who love to read but can’t travel!! ?
