Week 11: E-books and Audiobooks

Yay the last activity! started looking around the world ebook fair and searched for some books, however everytime I clicked on a link I got asked for an ID and password. Not again, does this website need joining up? Discovered that it's not free as I thought but you need to pay $8.95 so I went to the project gutenburg site and had a look at a few ancient egyptian tiles. Found a couple of nice old ones that have nice plates/pictures of egypt 100-150 years ago. Also listened to the audio version of an egyptian book. I think it's great to have access to electronic booksespecially for studying. very useful to be able to read parts of chapters etc. Also the audiobooks are a blessing for the vision impaired. However apart from reading the odd chapter or listening to snippets of audio, I still prefer my books in print.
