I got similar stories from the rep though she wouldn't commit herself to a hard and fast rule... but Amazon is wanting ("recommending") one device per account in schools (with Kindle, a home user can connect as many devices as wanted to an account, though with Nook it's limited to 6, and with Kindle most books on the account can be on up to 6 of the devices at once... but the rep and I agreed that in the setting I'm in if I limited it to one kid at a time I'd be meeting the spirit of the idea of a single or limited number of users... but even then, it's not clear the publishers really would be happy about that or that I wouldn't have problems in the future.)
Moreover, once I had a reason to look at the new Nook because the Kindle was being questioned, I really like the touch feature better than finding a word in the library on the Kindle, and that's one thing we think will be useful for the kids.
Yeah. That's pretty much it.
