Library possesses several types of eReaders

If you’re confused about which eReader device to buy for yourself or for a gift, don’t despair — the Delaware County District Library is here to help. We have purchased two or three of several different types of eReaders, such as the Nook, Nook Reader, Kindle, Kindle Fire and even iPads in their latest versions, to demonstrate them and to allow you to have a hands-on experience with several devices, all in one place. Unlike retail stores, the library staff won’t encourage you to buy one type of eReader over another; our only goal is to make sure you have all the information you need to buy the one that best suits your needs.
