oh, sorry, my bad. Still, Just books offer the same stuff @ 250 bucks a month. So was wondering the value add.
Havent used a library in the last three years after shifting to Kindle, but the issue I used to face is availability. If you are getting ASOIAF, then they must have a good no of copies of the book So that is a good thing.
Just finished âA thousand Splendid Sunsâ. Really liked the book and narrative style of author. Now reading âGently Falls the Bakulaâ by Sudha Murty.
But youâre wrong again about ASOIAF. The books which have a small hand symbol next to them are available. In this case, the first 2 books have been rented out since weeks. Reading ebooks for the first 2 parts.
Most of my friends didnât want to read ASOIAF and were very satisfied with just watching the show. Now they all want to read it. Given my books to a friend and told him to circulate each book as soon as he has finished reading it.
I think you have to see some niche books and not just current popular ones to see how the online libraries stack up.
www.iloveread.in is a library started by a very good friend of mine from school.
Very good folks, do check them out (They operate in Chennai & Coimbatore and maybe Hyderabad)
well, for most people, they want to pick up a book they have heard about and non the past bestsellers or the likes. And when someone charges Rs. 500 a month for book, I expect them to have reasonable copies in stock.
There is always a tradeoff on how many copies to have of which books, but most places I have been member of never bothered to buy more than 5 copies of even the very popular current books. And that if you have something like no return date, that book might not come back into circulation for a month or two.
Wish that we would have a online ebook library in India.
The publishers want to kill this even in the west with Harper Collins putting a checkout limit of 26. So for 1 license which costs around $10, the ebook basically expires. You want to keep copy, you buy another license.
My firm has a tie with a e-library called âkwenchâ. It is highly recommended because i seldom have issues of non availability of books and their delivery is top notch. Do check it out.
Its goodâŚliked it better than Lost SymbolâŚfor a change Langdon is not solving a murder mysteryâŚyou should really read itâŚnever felt bored, always kept me on the edge of the seatâŚthatâs all I can say without spoiling anything.
