Mobile Tools & Resources
Search Amazon’s kindle store for terms like ‘young adults’, ‘teen books’, ‘children’s literature’, or a specific title or genre. Then sort by ‘Price: Low to High’. You will need to set up an Amazon account, but once you have done so, you can download the Kindle file (.azw) to your computer. You can then use a program like Calibre
(http://calibre-ebook.com/) to view the book or convert it to a pdf or other mobile formats. You can also convert the tile to simple text, if you’d like to use that for presentation materials.
