This just goes to show that they (Apple) need a happy medium with it's book experiment. For example, I downloaded a sample of Sarah Silverman's new book and enjoyed what I read. I am interested in reading it but will I pay $12.99 - $14.99 for the ability to read it on my iPad??? They should have a 'local library' option. Let me pay like $5 and give me a week to read it. If I don't finish, the book either goes away or I check it out again for another $5. If I want to own it, that $5 goes to the total cost. Or, a subscription service where I can read as many books as I want for a monthly fee. As it is now, it is hard for me to buy an electronic version of a book I can buy cheaper in the dead tree version, which should never be the case. Click to expand.No i do not mean stealing. I am not sure as to what jailbraking does so I was only asking if jailbraking makes the apps free. It was a guess. Anyways thanks for all the comments. I do agree the 12$ for buying a book option online is too pricey for me because first of all I can go to the library to get any book for free. Second if i want to buy a book I can go online to half.com or other websites and get a book for way cheaper than any book on the Ibookstore. Also I am a college student and am looking to buy textbooks online. Although I know how amazing it will be for me to have an electronic textbook because of the 'control find option' the price doesnt make sense. Not that i wont buy tho. For example I can buy a 100$ textbook for somewhere around 75$ in ibooks store. However i can buy the text book for 75$ or cheaper online and then after i am done with the book i have the option of selling the book on half.com or anywhere else so that I will be somewhat reimbursed for it. Making the book cheaper but the ibook textbooks disappears after sometime and we cant sell it to get our money back. Apr 19, 2010 How to find free e-books for your iPad.

Got rid of the audiobooks you could download. Won't let me use my library card on the CardStar app (or is that cardstor?) - they must SEE and TOUCH the card. Refuses to issue BOTH library cards the county provides - the CC sized one and the keychain tag one. I'd like to have both, give the regular one to the kids to keep in their bags, and i can keep the key ones on my keychain for unplanned trips. However, i can drive 5 miles to the next town and get a replacement and get them both. When i pointed that out, they held a MEETING to decide if they could grant me an exception to the 'rule'. Because, you know, people were giving the 2nd cards to their friends and running up fines and not paying. They granted the exception - making a HUGE deal about how it was a one time deal, and they would NOT waive any fees for me. Understand, my kids take an art class there weekly - and have been for the last 5 years. In that time we have incurred $4 in fines TOTAL.
