As promised, here is a summary of the answers I receivedwhen I inquired about
the purchasing of e-readers:
Purchased Nooks because of the in-store help and training. BN wants to
help schools and libraries. The Kindle license may not even allow use for
this purpose although many use it anyway.
2. Kindles purchased without a discount.
Synagogues and JCCs may be able to receive a grant. In at least one
place, this worked out well.
4. The least expensive Kindles are best because the Kindle allows you
to share an e-book over 6 readers at no additional cost.
In spite of the fact that Kindles were purchased without a discount, the
program has been cost effective.
Thanks so much to all who responded. I appreciate your help!
