The local library has an enormous catalogue of ebooks, available free much like your physical book, but not in a form compatible with a Kindle.

Hence both SWMBO (who reads more avidly than I do, and had/has an early Kindle) and myself use a free eReader app on an android tablet, to which 5 "books" can be downloaded at any one time.

They used to expire at an interval defined at download (and a maximum of 21 days) and couldn't be "returned" before this interval expired. This combined with the limit of 5 at any one time made planning for a holiday "interesting".

Following system upgrade, one can now "return" at any point up to the maximum 21 days, freeing up a further download.

In addition, when the service started, downloads were only allowed within the UK (by IP address) but this was subsequently relaxed.

Whilst the battery life of a tablet used for reading is nowhere near that of a Kindle, it is sufficient to be functional between normal recharges. Given that we carry the tablets on holiday anyway for all sorts of reference material, and for internet access, we now have an ideal holiday reading solution, with a virtually limitless library available.
