I believe it's necessary to enter a credit card into a Kindle or a Nook in the settings in order to be able to purchase books. Most people could probably figure out how to access the credit card on the reader. By allowing a reader to be "checked out" by a patron, could be (I believe) like lending out one's credit card.

To adults. I've recently read wording in the Kindle license that leads me to veto Kindles for this purpose. I would go with the Nook, which is eager to work with libraries, and offers nearby stores where real human beings are there to help. I'd like to hear from anyone who has dipped toe in water in this way. Andrea
