[aisle] ebook subscriptions

Wed May 20 10:59:34 CDT 2020

Hi,

With Capstone Interactive you pay per book. You do get to keep them forever
and they are unlimited use, which is really great. As Margo mentioned, they
integrate nicely into Destiny. They usually have a BOGO promotion in the
fall.

We have purchased several Destiny ebooks and audiobooks for our upper
elementary/junior high students but they don't get checked out very much.

TumbleBooks is great!

We haven't tried Overdrive yet, but it's something I'm looking into for the
fall. Same with eRead Illinois.
