Re: Needed for the Chromebook
I love Calibre ebook management. I have been utilizing it for years and have an extensive digital library that I simply cannot live without. There is nothing else like it and I rave about it to all my friends and colleagues.
Here's my problem.
As a teacher, I believe that with the ability to build, manage and show off one's own personal library is one of the best parts about being an avid reader.
I also believe that it is essential and critical to the instruction of emergent readers in teaching a love of literature.
I want to incorporate an ebook library system in my classroom. Our school had chromebooks donated to the students, but they are limited in their use as ebook libraries and ereaders. My class and other classes like mine need Calibre on the Chromebooks.
I have showed them how to find DRM free ebooks, they love Project Gutenberg, and many of them have their own ebooks purchased on their own devices that are not allowed for use in class. I have even showed them how to use digital libraries online to "check out" ebooks.
Please make it possible to use Calibre on the chromebook, so that my students can use their growing ebook collections in class and build on each other's love of literature.
