I've been trying to find companies that allow more than one reader to download an e-book simultaneously. No such luck! Although our e-audiobooks will allow up to 5 listeners, the e-books will be just as the print versions: one person per checkout. Keep watching the website for the active links to e-books.
We have purchased e-readers for the library staff to familarize ourselves with three devices: Kindle, Nook, ipad. The Kindle is here; the others still on the way. The plan is to download some books (to learn how to help patrons) and have the devices at the desk to help patrons compare. Sorry, we won't be circulating the devices--can't compare them if they aren't here.
I've found some information about reading Kindle books on the Nook. Supposedly you can go to http://calibre-ebook.com/download for a program to help with converting ebooks. There is information at http://blogkindle.com/2010/12/read-kindle-books-on-nook-color/comment-page-2/ to re-root your Nook to access the Android Kindle app. Regular nook info http://nookdevs.com/Main_Page .
If you have tried these links or other and have information, advice, etc., please comment. Thanks!
