Mr C on the other hand prefers the information on his phone. I also find it much easier to find things on a printed copy rahter than scrolling up and down.

A. I don't have to worry about battery life. B. I don't have to zoom in and out on walking maps. I still prefer hardcopy to downloaded stuff on phone.

For walking routes I normally download them from the internet and do it that way. This book gave a combinded blend of walks and history of the area and it worked well with another guidebook I have of the area. I am impressed that it is possible to loan such a large amount of books at the same time. I have not heard of Pressreader. I like the idea of accessing multiple magazines :-) I have to admit I like to keep my guidebooks for research so borrowing them would not work well for me.

All for free, what else can one ask for? ;) London libraries are really wonderful. Each borough has their own libraries. But they allow you borrow books across different boroughs. Each library card enables me to get up to 25 books for free. I have four library cards so I can borrow up to 100 books at a time. But I only have 50 books with me at the moment, can't carry too many books to return. By the way, have you heard of "Pressreader"? It's free from the library too. With that, you can access almost all newspaper and magazines online all around the world. It's really powerful. I got my walking books from my local libraries.
