64. 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.”
65. Don’t ask, “What device
should I buy?”
Ask “How will students
use it?”
(usually your district will prescribe what you use?)
66. “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 interoperability
2) Administering devices
3) Availability of the titles students and teachers want
4) Integration of the ebook catalog with the library catalog
5) Cost of both devices and ebook”
Watters, Audrey. “The Truth About Tablets: Educators are Getting iPads
and Ereaders into Etudents’ Hands—But It’s Not Easy.” School Library

69. “You can use iBooks on iPad. You can also use
iBooks on iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 4 or
later.
An iTunes Store account is required to download
books from the iBookstore.
iBooks uses the ePub file format.
To add ePub files from outside the iBookstore to
iBooks, they must be DRM-free and manually
synced to your device using iTunes 9.2 or later.”
127. Overdrive and Public Libraries
• I am not able to use eBooks from LAPL, even
though I am able to use their databases.
• Had to certify at Fullerton Public that I work in
Fullerton. (My Fullerton Public Library Card
did not work at first).

I’m not an expert by any means. Hoping to learn as much from you all in the chat. But do want to share my experiences with you. Shoot, ready, aim. Explore some information. My situation: no eReaders except BPHS Kobos and Sonora iPads. Kobo Readers, Gale Virtual Reference Library, FollettShelf and Overdrive. No endorsement of any one product. You can go out and search out contact info, trial info, pricing. Put anything you know in chat. eBooks rather than audio books. I Centre

Does this look like something?
Steve Jobs has had a lot of impact. But what do the eBook companies use?
Adobe Digital Editions is ebook reader software from Adobe Systems built using Adobe Flash. It is used for acquiring, managing and reading eBooks, digital newspapers, and other digital publications. The software supports PDF, XHTML (through the nonproprietary .EPUB file type specification), and Flash-based content. It implements a proprietary scheme of Digital Rights Management, which since version 1.5 (May 2008) allows document sharing between multiple computers and user authentication through Adobe ID. Adobe Digital Editions is a successor to Adobe eBook Reader.[1]
Kindle and Nook – devices per email address
Do you want to lighten students’ backpacks? No more textbooks?
Wont work if no juice.Will students be as vigilant about keeping their eReaders charged as they do their iPods?
What happens when they crack?
Do eReaders make students want to read more?
Does it make your library easier to transport?
Are they really cheaper? And if not, shouldn’t we be providing eReaders to ALL Students for equity of access? Do ALL Students have the ability to buy an $800 Ipad? A $200 Nook or Kindle?
What if this is what you have? And you have a lot of them like I do?
