Mom complained it's hard for her to hold up hard cover books, which is usually what the library supplies. So Harlan gave her a Kindle and figuring out how to put library books onto it is rather difficult. I had to first sign up for "overdrive," which apparently is handling the NYPL's ebooks instead of NYPL itself, and then even after I find a book I still have to go onto amazon's website to borrow it. And even after all of this, I've noticed the ebooks selection is rather sparse; dozens of the authors that mom reads aren't listed. Older ones that she's read like Inspector Maigret I can understand, but nowadays aren't almost all newly published books come with an ebook option? How the hell aren't these online somehow?
