- 15. Reasons for checking out e-reader • Just to try out the ipad • Wanted to try each kind • It was the last e-reader available • The other types were all checked out • To see which ereader I liked the most for apps and reading. • Looking to buy at semester. Trying different options. Have an older kindle liked it. • Because I have never used one before • Wanted to see how one works - I read a lot. • Have a Nook, lower version, & wanted to compare/contrast. • To try out prior to purchase • I heard good things about it and I wanted to try it. • So that I could see if I'd like to purchase one for myself. • To compare devices • To try • Just wanted to try something different and I brought Kindle eBooks this semester so I thought the HD would be the most compatible • To try before possibly buying one • I needed to supplement my laptop for a few weeks.

I really just didn't know how to use it. • Very nice program! • Get books available for our own devices, I know you have ebrary but I could not find guidance to get non fiction or fiction books. Great Program tho. • This is really nice. I love it!!! Thanks. • Add apps? • It is great to be able to try the different e-readers. • Thank you for offering this. • More books especially non-fictions. Thanks! • I enjoy checking these items out from the IUSB library • Of the 3 types I tried (Kindle, Nook & Mini ipad), the i-pad was easiest to use. • This is a good program/items for the library to provide for checking out.
