So far all good. Quick and easy. Some concern about this being under the Amazon banner as I wanted free books so I am hoping there is no fee introduced further down the track.

I am really sad, cannot use on my Kindle. Los Angeles Library not part of this product. HOW can that be? I guess cos they use Overdrive or something. So check your library before bothering to download.

I enjoy reading books from borrowbox, it allows me to read on a screen where I can alter the size of the text, so I don't have to wear my glasses.
