And I'm not sure which comment is yours on Amazon, either. I suppose the best overall view of what I think libraries are facing, and what we should do about it, can be found here: http://evoke.cvlsites.org.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759880634583081097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863889655787695005.post-31186438307814262222012-11-27T19:51:22.896-07:002012-11-27T19:51:22.896-07:00P.

Having bought my first Kindle (with my two daughters for my husband Doug for his 60th birthday) only to find that OverDrive Media Console for Library Books would not install, I submitted a one-star review to Amazon ("Disappointed and irritated") that has generated some interesting comments. With a law degree (and thus some knowledge of privacy rights), I find Amazon's "read for free" advertising/lack of transparency regarding its collection of Kindle purchasers' library reading practices troubling. I do not think it is "Amazon or OverDrive", but rather, "Amazon and OverDrive" and after reading the 10/18/11 blog post by "Librarian In Black" Sarah Houghton, I am interested in your thoughts on this subject should you have any.R E Schlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936316746084102239noreply@blogger.com
