It's just amazing what is being offered this holiday season in eReaders, tablets and iPads. Good luck sorting all this out. Doing your research will definitely get you and your patrons the best fit for your library. At our academic library, we like the new choices, especially on a tight budget. The cost shown below is for the low end memory devices. See Amazon's web site for specs and all pricing. http://alturl.com/cpatv
Presently we are using the 3G Kindle3 models to replace many of the worn out 'original' Kindle1's. These older models served us well for the last four years and hope the new devices hold up just as well. Kindle1's were $359 in 2008, which makes even the 8.9" Kindle HD Wi-Fi device at $299 and the new $199 Kindle Fire HD 7" a bargain.
We have many required titles for class reading that transfer smoothly to the new models. The Kindle Fire is popular here for required reading, assignments and terrific in class when students work in groups researching for a class project.
