Amazon rolled out the Kindle 17 years ago, e-books have earned a permanent place in our reading lives. We spent $1 billion last year, according to the Association of American Publishers. That represents 10 percent of all book sales. Their sibling, audiobooks, nabbed another 11 percent.The average newly released bestseller costs around $15 in e-book form and audiobooks are usually a few bucks more. While that’s cheaper than a new hardcover, the click-and-read (or listen) habit still can get expensive — unless you take advantage of the thousands of e-books (print and audio!) that are free to borrow or download. Here’s where and how.

Any READERS out there?  🤔

Before retiring, I use to live in my local library. Lol, I needed to hang on to my "too many" books as I headed out their front door.

Now at age 67, I tried returning AFTER finally feeling SAFE to return (2020 COVID drama), but LOST the "interest" to visit.

Got LAZY during my Covid Vacation and NOT willing to give up my FREE YouTube Audiobooks. Totally fascinated with Miss Marple & Poirot. I donot care how many times I have "listened" to them = relaxes me & sends me off to sleep.

Take care,
