Expand our eReader and eBook vocabulary Explore emerging practices Consider guiding questions and issues to
make thoughtful purchasing decisions and policies for eBooks and eReaders
Embrace the chaos---the world of eBooks and eReaders, particularly for K12, is fluid.

Access control technologies designed to limit what you can do with digital content and devices
DRM controls which devices you can use to read your eBook, and stops you converting your eBooks from one format to another
In the world of eBooks, DRM restrictions are designed to limit copying, printing, and sharing of e-books

Not all eBook formats are compatible on every device
Some devices, like the Kindle, are proprietary with eBook format
eBook format can matter when thinking about how it may appeal to readers and be developmentally appropriate from a sensory standpoint

Emerging practices and questions to consider for device/eBook content decision making

policies, procedures, paper trails
sharing and reflecting on the journey of learning
observations/discoveries
What Is Working/What Students Like• With the exception of one
student , every participant in the Kindle program has expressed extreme satisfaction with the Kindle reading experience.
• Students are thrilled that we purchase the books they want; the personalized reading experience is very important to our readers.
• Students like they can make adjustments to the page views/font size while reading.
What Is Working/What Students Like
• Students like the convenience and ease of reading on the Kindle.
• Students have been consistent and diligent in returning the Kindles on time within the one week circulation period.
• Most students have requested to use the Kindle again.
Hiccups/Challenges/Suggestions from Students
• We have discovered we need to keep the wireless turned off on the Kindles even when they are not in use because the battery drains rapidly trying to either find the 3G signal or to connect to the wireless network.
• Students all indicated they wished the Kindle was backlit and/or for us to purchase reading lights for nighttime reading.
Hiccups/Challenges/Suggestions from Students
• A few students have had difficulty remembering to return all Kindle accessories ; most return the missing item(s) within a day. Now that we have identified the source of the battery drain issue, we are now circulating the Kindles without the power supply unless the student specifically requests.
• Students would like a loan period longer than one week; as we acquire more eReader devices, we plan to extend the loan period to two weeks in 2011-12
Tips

Future Directions
• Overdrive may now be a more viable option with the new Kindle lending program.
• We will be purchasing the new Nooks and possibly Nook Colors for our students to check out.
