Nina Stenzler asked for information about eBook lending programs. I have some recent very favorable experience with *Calibre,* a free eBook Management application. I used it to convert a Word file containing Prof. Shlomo Giora Shoham's *Language, Culture & Myth: The Power of the Word* to various eBook formats.
*Calibre* (French spelling) can be used to search for eBooks on the web by author, title and/or keywords and sort the results by price, to convert any eBook format to any other format, to obtain from the web, modify and store catalog data about eBooks, to edit eBooks, and (for your patrons) to serve as a PC or laptop reader for eBooks in any format. You can see how to obtain *Calibre* and how I used it by downloading this slide show from the public folder of my Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2033458/LCM/LCM_PowerPoint_clean_4.pptx *Language, Culture & Myth* is now available from Amazon at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Language-Culture-Myth-Power-Word-ebook/dp/B01D24C9CM There is a Wikipedia article about Prof. Shoham at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shlomo_Giora_Shoham If you really want to know more about Prof. Shoham, get a copy of *Martyrs and Heroes *at http://www.amazon.com/Martyrs-Heroes-Shlomo-Giora-Shoham-ebook/dp/B00Z3W1UR2 Caution: *Martyrs and Heroes* is not for children or the faint-at-heart. Disclaimer: I am the editor of both of these eBooks. Best regards, Izzy Israel A Cohen Beer Sheva [email protected] +972-54-754-2744 (iPhone with FaceTime)
