Thing 9 -- part 2

I recently learned of two blogs that post free ebooks, bargains, and deals of the day along with other apps and downloads that are available. One is Books on the Knob and the other is Pixel of Ink. Pixel of Ink is dedicated to Kindles only, but Books on the Knob covers other readers and music. I now subscribe to them and can keep up with many of the free choices that are offered around the web. My Kindle is filling up as fast as my real bookshelves have in the past thanks to these sites and others. I am always on the lookout for a source of free children's books to keep up with my reading for my library. As much as I love Overdrive, I don't always have the time to finish a book, even a kids book in the allotted time frame for a borrowed book.

I downloaded Subtext app and have played around a bit. It would be very interesting to have a class set of iPads and use this app to have all the kids reading the same book and making comments as they read and discuss things. I will file this away for summer use to play more and enjoy!
