Coffee Break: e-book readers
At today's Coffee Break we took a look at the Sony Reader and Amazon Kindle owned by DSS and available for Library staff to borrow. We talked about interfaces, book formats, and the utility of e-books. Julie from DSS mentioned that the Kindle can only be purchased with a user account, which allows items to be purchased from the Kindle store. This makes it hard for a library to loan a Kindle to patrons since you can't easily prevent them from purchasing content.
