Ah, readers, yes you might be able to help. I've been asked to post these two questions.

What do you feel is the difference between iBooks and Kindle. I'm working an iPad and from personal knowledge I appreciate you can have both readers on the iPad I'm wondering is there any real difference if you were to start buying books on a regular basis. Amazon is the major book retailer but Apple's would have it in the technology and music department. I think

Perhaps a little more difficult to answer which is the best audio book

My assumption would be that most popular e-books would appear on both the ibook and Kindle. I would also assume that they would be the same price. About audio books I'm not to sure and my friend is interested in audio books

This is not a subject I've any knowledge, I operate booth, so I would appreciate your advice and help

Don't you believe it JackieO - main libraries are also targets for the big scissor wielders who make the cuts. Our lovely central library here in Bath is moving into the top two floors of an office block, with fewer books, fewer staff, and more computers!
We are all VERY angry.
And we're all ordering books like mad, just to show the powers that be that the people value our library as an important resource.

And, I forgot to ask if I can join!
I always try to read a book a week, but only managed 36
In 2016.
I usually read what's grandly known as Literary Fiction, but read pretty much whatever comes to hand. If I get into a reading slump I pull myself out with Elly Griffiths or Susan Hill (detective/police procedurals.)
