I'm still going to TRY to get Amazon to disable the wifi (I ran into a discussion about something called CIPA today that is yet another reason to do disable the wifi; and I know that although it's rare, I
have come across at least one person who did succeed in getting Amazon to disable the wifi). We'll also tell the students to leave it off if we can't get it disabled. As it is, the population we are dealing with are folks half of whom may not even have computers at home, much less wifi. And, if they WERE to download books that have already been bought on the account, the worst is that I would not know that one of the licenses has gone to one of the Kindles or to which one; they still wouldn't be able to buy new books on their own, which is the main purpose of disabling the credit card. So it wouldn't be a disaster, even if they weren't archiving/deleting books once done (unless we have very popular books that aren't being "returned"); my record-keeping just wouldn't be complete (and the record-keeping isn't part of the research, per se, just more for me to keep track of how many licenses are available, really, AND perhaps get a little bit more data as to how many and what books the kids are into).
Unless I'm missing something... (and if I am, please let me know; I've never managed a project quite like this one before, as is probably obvious from some of the things I've been saying today! :-) )
thanks for your input :-)
