At this point, I asked that our funding be held till our next fiscal year given that the vendor we're looking at has not reached an agreement with Amazon yet. I want to insure that the vendor we choose will have the kindle option since so many of our patrons use that particular device.
I'm leaning towards using Ebsco due to affordability, helpfulness, and ease of downloading books. I believe that since this is such a new science, right now there are many limitations, including; title offerings, publisher lawsuits, etc... Therefore, I thought to revisit the subject this summer to see if any of the "dust" has cleared. Hope that helps.
