mlearning- Why We Won't Purchase More Kindles at the Unquiet Library

This article is about a school Librarian that received a email form Amazon that she had to remove information from the library Facebook page. On this page she said that you could register six kindles with one email address so that you could share books on six different kindles. At the time this Librarian posted that information to Facebook it was true. However, Amazon has changed their policy on this and each kindle has to have a different email address. That the library needed to purchase overdrive. This is a major expense to the library that they can not afford. Because if this the kindle that they do have will not be use very much because the library will not purchase any more books for them at this time, They have also decided to not by anymore kindles and will purchase the Nook Simple Touch.

 I know that Amazon is a business and they want to make money. I feel that they could have been nicer to this teacher. She was not breaking any policies when she set up the kindles. If the policies changed then it should be enforced on future purchases not on past. I feel that Amazon should have been nicer because there are millions of teachers and you don't want to get on there bad side. Amazon is not the only book company or e-read company out there. As teachers we do not have to give them there our business. I feel that if Amazon wants educators to use there products then they need to make sure that the product is affordable for educators.
