E-book has come a long way. The number of people transitioning to ebook has gone up, though for me, paperback books are still the best. But if you are among those people who likes to read, it can really be a hassle if you find your room transforming to a mini library cause of your book collections.
E-books are handy and less expensive. What if you want to read the novel A Song of Ice and Fire cause you were quite hooked with the Game of Thrones TV series. You can buy it or why not just save your money and just borrow the digital copy of the book? The National Library of Singapore has been offering this for a few years already.
If you want to try, just head on to their website www.nlb.gov.sg and click the eResources on the left side and you will be tranferred to the digital section where you can search for particular book that you like. Aside from ebooks, you can also borrow magazines, mangas, audios and videos. If you find a book that you want to borrow, just add it to your cart and checkout after. You need to register before you can borrow from them. This service is absolutely free.
Thumbs up to Singapore for this.
