Better Homes and Gardens: Read it and Eat

In the November issue of Better Homes and Gardens there was a great article and book suggestions on Read it and eat.  With many books going the digital route, including cookbooks, you are able to have a recipe right in front of you while preparing the food.  The difference is you don't need to worry about damage to the book, lost items, or returning it after a hectic holiday.
I found myself a few nights ago, following a recipe directly from my iPad.  The iPad remained propped up on the counter top away from the activity for quick and easy access.  In today's post, I've included B & G's list of cookbook recommendations along with a few of my own.  If you have a favorite of your own, just place the title in the comment box along with the author for a faster item search.

OverDrive App Comes to NOOK

OverDrive has announced a NOOK App for wireless downloading of digital material.

OverDrive App Comes to Nook

"Borrowing eBooks and audiobooks from the library just got a whole lot easier for users of the NOOK HD, NOOK HD+, NOOK Tablet™ and NOOK Color™. Last week, Barnes & Noble added the OverDrive Media Console app to the NOOK Apps™ storefront. This NOOK app enables users to wirelessly borrow eBooks and MP3 audiobooks from the library.

All NOOK devices, including NOOK 1st Edition, NOOK Simple Touch and NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight, have always enabled users to read eBooks borrowed from libraries and scho  ols, but the process required sideloading the files from a computer using Adobe Digital Editions and a USB cable. Now users of NOOK HD, NOOK HD+, NOOK Tablet and NOOK Color can borrow eBooks and audiobooks wirelessly using the OverDrive app.

Users can visit the NOOK Apps storefront to install the free OverDrive Media Console (OMC) app. The app enables users to locate a library or school nearby, browse or search their eBook and MP3 audiobook collection and, after entering a valid library card or school ID,  check out and download the title for a lending period of one to three weeks (depending on the library or school's policies). At the end of the lending period, the title simply expires.

 The version of OMC available in the NOOK Apps storefront is OMC for Android v2.5, so any instructions found on library Help pages related to OMC for Android will apply to the NOOK app. While the app is free, users will need a valid NOOK account in order to download the app."
