An update. Got hit by a bit of an eLandmine this week... long story short is that I am almost certainly switching to the Nook Touch. This rids us of the online browsing problem someone brought up up above, but not them surfing the B&N store while at school, and I don't know yet if the school is going to get sketchy on me about that (is just seeing the title and description of a nasty book enough to be a CIPA violation?) -- but that's not the topic here.
Here I'm still trying to learn how best to manage my books and who's got what checked out, and of course the Nook model is very different from the Kindle model. I will have 3 accounts, each with 5 or 6 nooks, and every nook on a given account will be able to see all the books on that account. In some ways this may be easier, way easier. At most we'd have to buy 3 copies of a popular book, but given this model, I will wait to see what kids want rather than pre-seeding the account (except I *will* get as many of the freebies as possible that are appropriate, so the nooks have something in them to start).
So if anyone has any advice about managing a 3-account system, I'm all eEars. (And I need simple if possible because it really isn't a big enough project to warrant extremely complex... also need inexpensive/free, because there's no money in the grant for buying anything for this purpose. Maybe just keeping track in excel will be sufficient.)
:-)
Thanks again!
