Can you give me an idea on how much it costs to 'rent' a class set of books?

I established my one-year "subscription" amount with my Overdrive rep, which is my Overdrive Contract that is paid upfront. That entire cost is then available to purchase content in the Overdrive Marketplace. It is not a separate subscription fee like they had previously. I'm throwing out random numbers- if my fee is $4000, I get to select $4000 in books. How that first fee is priced- I don't recall, I think they give you a number based on your users.

The other awesome thing about Overdrive is that you can "rent" a class set of books to deliver to students via email link. I think it gave the students 60 or 90 days to read the book. Those books expire and cannot be re-assigned. I did bill that cost to the general instructional supplies budget, (with principal approval) not to the library budget, and not to my $4000 content credit. I just managed the purchase as the Overdrive Admin at my school.

Overdrive also provides sales and free books from time to time as the publishers allow. I picked up a bunch of <$5 books last spring, good titles, too.

I am going to give you my humble opinion. Sora has been easier for kids and families during remote learning. They have the ability to add their public library collection as well. I think it's a little friendlier on personal devices as well, so if kids want to listen on their parent's phone, it seems to be easier.

<div style="font-size:large">
My collection from Follett is bigger, the interactive books are pretty cool, but the kids still gravitate to Sora. I am in a K-8 school, so one thing I decided to do was make my Sora collection friendlier for 4-8th grade, and my Follett collection friendlier for K-3.

Hello collective mind...
<div>
<br>
<div>
We are a K-5 school. This will be our first year one-on-one with Chromebooks. We use Follett Destiny. We are starting our year with remote-only learning through the first quarter.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Is there a definitive answer on if it is better/easier for students and staff to access ebooks through Destiny v. Sora? I presume the same books are available for purchase through both and the same pricing and access level.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Does this answer change if a subscription to Tumblebooks or Capstone ebooks or some other service is added into the mix? I'm looking for one stop shopping if at all possible.
</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
Thank you, and good luck to everyone this year trying to figure out new ways of doing things!
