For licensing - I was looking at buying enough licenses for all students =
who need to use a book, but we have a transient population. So if we've =
downloaded licensed ebooks on student machines and a student leaves our =
school half way through a school year or at the end of the school year =
(happens all the time), would I be able to transfer the license to =
another student?=20

I'm also looking for the ebooks that use ebook reader software that =
allows students to annotate and take notes. Have you used these? =20

Is anyone using ebooks? We are exploring their use. Does anyone have any
guidance on publishers and licensing with using these on student owned =
tablets?
Thanks for any advice!
