BooksOnBoard

BooksOnBoard is a bookstore that specializes in e-books. There are many ebook stores on the web, this just happens to be the one that I use the most. I enjoy romance novels and they have a great selection of romance.


It's a lot like iTunes. You setup an account, log in, order and download. Each book has a professional review/synopsis along with any reader reviews if posted.


The site is really easy to navigate. The home page has 16 of the newest or most popular books on it which you can click to get more information. You can also search by genre, author or title.


Their books are provided in a number of different formats including: Adobe ePub, eReader and Mobipocket. Most of the formats cost the same, I think I've seen a couple that were different, but not by much....5 cents or less. When you go to check out you are prompted to download free software to read the book. I bypass this as I already have it.


The easiest way for me to manage the downloads is to save them to the desktop and drag them into my Adobe Digital Editions library.....from there I can drag them into my ereader. I'm sure there's an easier way to do it, but this works best for me.


If you happen to delete the book by accident you can redownload from the website. They have all your purchases on file.


I have had no problems with any books downloaded from this site. They have a great selection and reasonable prices.


Check'em out!!
