Tips on Using Your Ebook Reader


Are you planning to invest or have recently invested in an eBook reader? If so, then these tips on how to take care of it and how to make the most out of it will definitely be useful for you.

1. Invest in a case, sleeve, or screen protector. Even if you are extremely careful or not, it will give you more peace of mind to have your ereader protected by a case, sleeve, or screen protector for when you put it in your bag or luggage. If you are prone to dropping things, you should look for a sturdy protector than can help reduce the impact of drops. A case or screen protector will probably set you back anywhere between $30 and $60, depending on what kind you choose, but we at Digital Limb guarantees that this relatively small investment will certainly go a long way.

2. Invest in cloud storage. Your eBook reader can store lots of ebooks depending on how much storage you opt for. Nevertheless, it still pays to have a backup copy of your library just in case. This backup will also come in handy when you upgrade to a new eBook reader. If you have an external disk that you use for storage, then that would do. But in this day and age, the best form of storage, especially for backup, is cloud storage, which stores your content online. This is not only more secure, but it allows you to access your content wherever you may be.

3. Take advantage of freebies. There are a lot of free and cheap ebooks on the market. To make the most out of your eBook reader, download free ebooks first before you buy, unless you are looking for a newly released title that will be difficult to get for free. Otherwise, you'll find that the free ebooks can pretty much fill up your time with lots of great reading materials.

4. Take advantage of free excerpts. Some publishers also offer free eBook excerpts. These allow you to test the book to see if it is to your liking, before you buy it. This is an advantage not possible when you buy a real book, and this will help keep you from buying a book and later finding out that it's not your type of reading material at all.

5. Get into eBook lending. Most eBook readers nowadays allow you to lend and borrow ebooks with other users. If you are not a Kindle user, you can use a program called Overdrive, which contracts libraries from other eBook reader users and facilitates lending. The Kindle, however, has its own digital lending system that allows you to share with other Kindle users such as friends and families.
