Digital Book Club?

MrsMirMaz

Would anyone be interested in doing a digital book club over here? Nerdy, I know! It might be fun to chat about current reading though.

I'd be down once september or october rolls around, I have like zero time for reading with wedding planning still going on, although in the fall I'll be back in school so I don't think I'd be able to participate much. It sounds really fun though!

I like this idea.  I am a really slow  reader but I do like to read.

I would definitely love to join in. I love reading, and it'd be great to discuss books with y'all.

I'm definitely up for this! I love to read! Does anyone have any knowledge of how to share books on Amazon, Borders or iBook?

MrsKtotheE

Do you think we could do a book every other month?  I mean I am seriously a slow reader.  But I also like to take my time.

I would love to do one. I've been looking for a book club to join for a while. I think one a month is a good rate to go, at least to start!

I tried to join the Chicago boards book club...They emailed the book for June but never emailed me again to invite me to the actual club meeting haha

They do a book every other month. That might work nice for people who are super busy or take their time reading. If you're a quick reader, you could have a break and pick the book up closer to the end of the month.

 I will look into book sharing...I'm wondering if we could share on the kindle software somehow. I know you can download it free on the pc or mac. I have it on my macbook and it works nicely.

I've always wondered how the file sharing works. That would be great. I have a kindle and I have iBooks on my ipad. I think one book a month would be good, but maybe between November & December we'll only do one because people will be so busy. I'm really looking forward to this!

MrsB617

I have an iPad so I have the iBooks, Amazon and Borders apps but I've only used iBooks but I don't think you can share on it

I've got a kindle and from what I understand of the sharing for that, you can lend out  books but you can't read them during that time.

 

TinyMrsH

Well that's crappy that you can't read them at the same time! We can always look in the free books, but I don't mind buying them at all :0)

MrsMirMaz

It looks like you can link 6 devices to an amazon account and they can all use the books simultaneously. What you do is you log in from the same amazon account and it'll let you register your kindle. I'm thinking once you have purchased the book, you can just go in and download it from the kindle account? If anyone else with a kindle/kindle software wants to give it a test go? I got Alice in Wonderland (It was a free download) to test with.

I made up an email so we could have an account the email is destinationnesties@gmail.com and the password is nesties 

 If this works, it could be nice to pool money and buy a book...even if we were to end up needing 2 accounts. I don't mind buying the books but it'd be nicer to pay a couple bucks than 10-12. 

 P.S. you can get kindle software for pc, mac, ipad, and a bunch of smart phones (why would you read on a smart phone?) if you don't have a kindle reader.

FI and I share an account and I think it would just get confusing if I were logging in and out of accounts on my kindle, so I'll just continue to use mine and buy the books. I don't mind

That's a great idea though!

When I first got my iPhone 4 and it came with iBooks I definitely read Pride and Prejudice (not a very short book) entirely on my iPhone. It was actually not too bad! Ever since I got the kindle though I haven't read on my phone. It just doesn't make sense anymore.

I would be interested in a book club. I did one with a bunch of friends and it was so much fun. I use the Kindle app on my DROIDX and my paid. I haven't found a good book lately though.

I know I've read almost all Janet Evanovich's books and OMG they're seriously LOL. If anyone's looking for good quick reads
