Appendix B. Sources for ebooks Other than B&N
EPUB Sources
You can buy EPUB books or download free EPUB books that you can read on your NOOKcolor from numerous places. Here are just a few:
• Fictionwise (www.fictionwise.com)
• Smashwords (www.smashwords.com)
• BooksOnBoard (www.booksonboard.com)
• Kobo Books (www.kobobooks.com)
• Diesel eBook Store (www.diesel-ebooks.com)
• Baen (www.baen.com)
Some of these sites offer ebooks in several formats, so be sure you select carefully and get the EPUB version.
Perhaps one of the greatest benefits to having an ebook reader that supports the EPUB format is that you can read ebooks from many public libraries. Check with your local library to see if it offers the capability of checking out EPUB ebooks. If it doesn’t, you might still be able to get a library card from a nearby library. Check out the Overdrive website at www.overdrive.com. You can enter your ZIP code and it will give you a list of libraries in your area that support Overdrive for checking out EPUB books.
