What sort of books are you intending to set? If it's just novels then 6" eInk readers makes sense, but if you're looking at books with pictures or complex diagrams you'd want something bigger and probably based around colour screens.

Thank you for asking these good questions!

I am in California. This is a one-time opportunity to use grant funds, so I need to be both diligent, and in a hurry (a bad combinatoin).

The students will be reading short stories and novels. The expense of the downloads is a concern, so one of my questions is whether I will be able to legitimately "share" a single copy with the class. Don't know if this is possible, but would like to find out!
