Kent county council starts a new eBook scheme



KENT County Council is supporting the new revolution of digital reading by offering free eBooks.

Currently users are able to download from a selection of 700 eBooks and eAudiobooks which can be read or played on computers and some portable devices.

The service can be accessed from the KCC website where users can browse and download books using the e-lending library.

Suzanna Darling who is involved with the scheme said:“Most people in nine to five jobs do not have the time to visit a library. However, eBooks allow people to fit reading into their lifestyles by downloading and reading books on the go on a laptop, netbook or other portable device.”

“We see digital reading as a compliment to holding a physical book rather than phasing out traditional libraries. User feedback so far has been very positive and we expect reference books especially to be delivered in the eBook format.”

What you need to make use of the service:
