[ISLMA-Share] Kindles in the Library

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We have nooks in our library available for students to check out. While
they also require a credit/debit card number, we have activated the setting
requiring that purchases can not be made on the device without also typing
in the account's password (which of course the students don't know). I'm
not familiar with Kindles, but perhaps they have a similar feature in their
settings.
