The Gutenburg Press to a New Level: Week 9, Thing 22
I can see the end in sight. I found this thing to be a fairly easy one because I have used Overdrive, NetLibrary, and Project Gutenburg at one time or another. I found all products fairly easy to use. Downloading a book off of Overdrive is so easy. I have downloaded books or more than one occasion and have had to opportunity to show our customers how easy it is to download books on to their computer. Searching could be a little bit easier, but I did find some interesting books just by browsing through the collection. NetLibrary, from what I remember, is very similar to Overdrive when it comes to searching, browsing, and downloading items. Setting up an account for both of these services is extremely easy. Project Gutenburg is nice if you are looking for books that are in the public domain and are no longer copyrighted. It has many books digitized and a handful of audiobooks. The one complaint about Project Gutenburg is the readability of the books. Sometimes it can be a bit difficult with the way they have the books set up. Other than that, any one of these services would be useful for our customers, plus I would use myself.
