Well, We've done the deed and bought the nooks today (so I won't be posting here anymore except to reply to any loose ends). At least on the nook I *can* set a password that disallows them from buying books but still allows them to use the device. (And, I guess, download samples of stuff they shouldn't get at. We plan to have a contract that they agree not to do that, then if they do they've broken that contract. From what I read, the policy and having them sign it is the key.) The school (district and principal) wants me to do the acquisition anyway, and then we just turn their wifi on briefly and download any new books for their group. It's a somewhat different way of thinking about things than with the Kindle, but I think I can make it work. The local B&N folks are very supportive.
Thanks again everyone for your input, and allowing me to crash here while I was still considering the Kindle. In the end, hopefully either will be fine for the kids.
