Re: ISED: kindle

Several independent school libraries are offering Kindles to borrow with po=
pular titles loaded. Others are waiting, such as our school to see what tex=
tbooks will become available via the Kindle. I was encouraged to read the s=
ame Wall Street article.

Good Morning:

One of our English teachers approached me yesterday and asked if I had hear=
d
of any school that is exploring the use of the kindle (or something
comparable) in its curriculum. So I turn to this group for my answer: any
potential kindle users out there?

Thanks,
