How to get and read eBooks from the library

In this tutorial, I'll go over the specifics of how to get ebooks from your public library and how to read them.

Unfortunately, thanks to strong digital rights management by the publishers of these books, the process for obtaining and reading ebooks can be difficult and confusing.

In this video, I'll cover obtaining an Adobe ID, using Adobe Digital Editions software, supported eBook reader devices, and reading with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with the Bluefire Reader app.
