The cost was prohibitive as well. Let me know which platform you end up using. You may wish to consider Ebsco.

I do not want to get into lending out hardware.

We’ve been uploading books using Amazon gift cards, and lending out the entire device. There’s a small contract that we request patrons sign in case they damage the device. Thus far, we’ve had no issues.

Especially for very small synagogue libraries. Our congregation in Corpus Christi only has about 4000 books. But as more people are buying e-readers I would like to start acquiring books of Jewish interest as they are released. Any thoughts or info would be appreciated. Thanks, David Jacobs Librarian, Congregation Beth Isreal
