Week 9, Thing 22

World eBook Fair site certainly has a lot to offer with over 500,000 eBooks in pdf format.  I question the portability of the eBooks.  Can they be uploaded to portable devices?  If patrons prefer digitized books, this is definitely for them, especially at only $8.95 per year.  Though this seems like a great deal, I would rather help my local library and download their audiobooks, giving them increased circulation numbers.

Our library has recently offered downloadable audiobooks through a vendor called Recorded Books (check out this link).   I expect many libraries have or are investigating adding downloadable audiobooks to their libraries collection.  It is important to choose a vendor that can supply you with circulation statistics as they too are important for monthly circulation reports.
