Don’t Worry if you didn’t receive an IPad, a Kobo or a Sony E-reader as a Gift.
I like think I was ahead of the E-book Downloading Curve. I remember the good old days when you could log into Download E-Books onthe Toronto Public Library website and easily check out a book without going through pages of items on hold.
I started by using a tiny trusty MP3 player and it was pretty easy to download and sync the e-audiobooks to this little data whiz. Then, I got fancy and used an IPod Touch. Apple doesn't make it easy to download free e-audiobooks to this small gem, but I got the hang of it after about 14 hours! Trouble was, I'd download the titles and then couldn't find them on my computer!
I still take my IPod Touch on my travels and love to be able to listen to audiobooks and drift off to sleep on planes and noisy airports while waiting for flights. I can check local weather with it, send e-mails and post updates on Facebook. I can even learn a language by downloading a Language-Learning Textbook.
Many cities and hotels offer free Wi-Fi and here's a photo of my IPod visiting Dubrovnik.
Just so you know, the password for free Wi-Fi in Dubrovnik is….Dubrovnik.
Since you are able to pre-pay for Wi-Fi in Venice, I was also able to e-mail from a vaporetto while sailing down the Grand Canal.
You won't always put an IPad in your pocket or have enough energy to read a book on a Kobo, but an IPod Touch can certainly cover everything you might want to do.
