[ISLMA-Share] e-Readers

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I tried this last year. As I wanted students to be able to check out the
tablet and take it home, I bought baseline Kindles - no theft target!
Unfortunately, the Follett e-books don't function on anything less than a
Kindle Fire or iPad. I'm not sending those home... Neither Follett nor
Amazon had any sympathy for my predicament. Each accused the other of not
making the system work on a lower cost tablet.
