Ebooks

My son and I were recently having a conversation about e-books, since his birthday is coming up he is trying to convince me to get him a Kindle Fire.  I was doing some research on the difference between a Kindle Fire and ipads, but then I started thinking we have Ipod Touches why do we really need a Kindle Fire.  Anyways, he told me books were cheaper for a Kindle Fire. So this got me on an internet search.  In my searching I found that you can read e-books right on a computer as well as the other devices.  The drawback with reading on a computer is that it is not as portable as an Ipod, Ipad, Kindle, etc...
I was pleasantly surprised to find that itunes, amazon and kobo all have free e-books.  Amazon's top 100 paid and free change hourly.  My local library also has e-books that you can borrow.  The library has more current titles and authors that are well-known.  Some of the authors I came across on the other sites I am unfamiliar with.  However, how bad can a free book really be.
