The Kindle presentation by The PBCC Library at the SEFLIN Regional Conference at FIU, [Key Biscayne, Miami], last Thursday was a grand success. Our competition was "Second Life", next door to our break out session. 250 registered for the entire conference, and 65 registered out of a possible 66 seats for our Kindle session. There were 4 seats left at the beginning of the session, and 3 seats were allocated for the presenters. "Full house!" We were very pleased with the attendance.
We could have used an hour, easily, just for all the questions. The reception for the wireless on the Kindle, was not received well in the building. [note to self, to test rooms before a workshop] Participants could not order Kindle books, but most left happy to have "played" with a Kindle for the 1st time.
Our next presentation sponsored by the Palm Beach County Library Assoc., will be Sept. 23, 2009 at the Duncan Theater, at the PBCC Lake Worth Campus. See this Kindle blog or the Palm Beach County Library Assoc. web site for details later this month. http://pbcla.info/
