Jennifer Cain posted a discussionWhich e-reader to buy?
Wondering which e-book reader to buy for student and staff use. Obviously, Kobo is cheaper than Kindle but 'you get what you pay for' is playing in the back of my mind. We experimented with a couple of ipads and loaded free classics and a couple of purchased titles, but of course the students used them for everything but reading an e-book. Any suggestion by those of you who are further down the track with this would be much appreciated.See More
