- Jan, Thanks for your reply. We have three jr. highs and 2 high schools and we were hoping to start building an ebook collection that could be shared by all students. I will continue to use my 10 kindles for book clubs at our school for book clubs. I was hoping to talk to someone who had ordered the ebooks to find how they were working.

- Jan, check the Resources tab for the kinds of "useful forms" you are looking for. As for the ereaders themselves, you can find someone here to comment on all of them. I guess looking into how your Gale collection will transfer is critical; the Nook platform does allow "borrowing" of books that are protected by Adobe Digital Editions DRM software. Let me know if you have other questions.

- Jan, welcome to the group! Are you investigating the use of ereaders in your district, or do you have a pilot in place already? (We'd love it if you'd upload a profile photo--go to settings under your name on the right and the option to upload is right at the top!).
