Great resources but two words of caution: first these have a LOT of content and little is for kids. It is made for adults, I would let kids wander with caution. Also these deals are almost always limited time offers and what was free yesterday may be full price today. Be cautious.<br />Kobo is a book store like Amazon, but only provides books in Kobo format. This was the e-reader sold by Borders before they went bankrupt. Not something most people will find useful these days.<br />Project Gutenberg is a great database of books in the public domain, so basically classics only. Not where you will find Jeff Kinney's next book, but still a good list.<br />Apps---- a topic for another post :-)<br /><br />Now Scribd is my favorite because it is very interesting. Basically it is "Netflix for books" a monthly subscription service for books. However they have a limited library and if you are like me you might have read most of the titles they have already. They do have some good ones though, however their kids selection is limited and only worthwhile for a voracious and mature reader over grade 5.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930355015514041764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6966491491709091719.post-88449448919986298852014-06-20T12:56:15.093-07:002014-06-20T12:56:15.093-07:00Here are some that I've heard people talk abou...Here are some that I've heard people talk about.
