Hi all, I know this is probably well known, but for those that don't know, there is a great app called 'Borrow Box', it works in conjunction with libraries and any member of a library can use it, all you need is a pin number from your local library and your library card..there are thousands of books including audio books to download for absolutely free. You can have 6 books on loan at a time, and simply renew at the click of a button, you can also reserve books and receive an email when they become available. I've had some great reads from there. It is quite an easy app to use too.

    Thanks @MaxB! I signed up to this a few months ago and found it a really handy way to access books. I was terrible for borrowing them from the library and not being able to return them on time so Borrow Box has helped me avoid fines and continue to read!

    Do you down load the books or get an actual book?

    Hi pollyanna, u download the book and when finished reading you simply click on 'renew' or the 'return' button...there is no additional software to download, you download and read your books all through the Borrow Box app itself.
