For this exercise, we were asked to explore eBooks on two different websites. One was the San Jose Public Library page. I've never really searched for eBooks before so I didn't really know what I was doing or what I would find. I discovered that eBooks are texts of novels and other books that you can access online. You check them out like you would a normal library book, except that it is a computer file. When the checkout time is up, the file automatically becomes unreadable and are then deletable. On the SJPL page, there is a specific source for Technological eBooks called Safari Tech. This site narrows the search more if what you're looking for is technology related. The World's Ebook Fair site is another site where you can download books online. The only catch with that site is that you have to register in order to download the books. Registering to the site means you have to pay a yearly fee to download from their database.

Have you tried downloading any ebooks? It's actually pretty easy and doesn't take that long on a high speed connection. If you are trying to learn a language SJPL has audio ebooks for this too! They are really cool.
You are almost done with the 23 things! Don't forget to do #23 to qualify for the flash drive and any prizes that may be available. Thanks for all your hard work on the project.
