Those kids and teens have already been through tortures, and now they are cooped up in a sterile enviroment, very sick, and frightened.

An ebook reader would be great to have on the unit for the kids and teens, because of it being hard metal/plastic and easy to sterilize, as opposed to whatever contamination comes in with pbooks.

This is a worthy cause! D: I'd vote for you!

Maybe we SHOULD do this, I mean, have a sort of regular charity drive where members can donate their old readers to good causes, or donate money to the purchasing of new ebook readers for hospitals and the like. What'dya think?

Don't want to hijack this member's post or this thread, so we could have a topic about this in the forum maybe?
