Kindle + Library Card = Free Books

Queens Library, stand up! Been doin’ this for ages… using Overdrive on my iPad. #geeking

futurejournalismproject:

Amazon announced today that Kindle and Kindle app users can now check out electronic books from 11 thousand local libraries around the United States.

You know, like we do with analog books. Except this time you receive the book via WiFi or USB.

Unlike analog books you can make margin notes and highlights and librarians won’t give you the stink eye for doing so.

Visit your local library’s Web site to see if it’s participating in the program.
