Common misconception by those not involved in publishing industry nor libraries.
Buffy Hamilton:
Kindles or Nooks?

FROM CALIBK12: “A 7th grade English teacher is looking for a different Arthurian book to do as a class book and assignment. She has done "King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table" by Thomas Malory for years, but now has to take it off her list because she must now use iPads for reading and instruction, and this title is not
available as an ebook ( I know; a discussion for another time). So, please suggest any excellent Arthurian books for middle school students that can be downloaded as an ebook.”
Don’t ask, “What device should I buy?”
Ask “How will students use it?”
(usually your district will prescribe what you use?)
“Sticking Points:
These are the top five issues libraries face when it comes to using ereaders and tablets in school.1) Platform lock-in and lack of interoperability2) Administering devices3) Availability of the titles students and teachers want4) Integration of the ebook catalog with the library catalog5) Cost of both devices and ebook”
