It'll be available Nov 30th. I've held off of an ebook reader due to cost, but this one starts at less than $300 and can also do MP3 files, photos, and other types of files as well. It will even allow you to lend ebooks to friends. Info here: http://bit.ly/2BT67H Have you seen the new ebook reader from Barnes & Noble, the Nook? It’ll be available Nov 30th.

We took 15% of science monographs funds to pay for it. I'm definitely doing less firm ordering since the titles I would have ordered are in EBL. Conceptually I love demand driven: only pay for what is used. I hate buying books that sit on the shelf. We'll see how it goes. I'm blessed with a daring head of Collections and head of Information Resources. We’ve jumped in with EBL demand driven acquisition, but we’re a small institution (2000 students.)

It is clearly more difficult to pin down ownership of digital items, but I am concerned about ownership becoming a thing of the past.
