1. The document discusses an ebook program at Moreau Catholic High School that began in 2011 with the purchase of 6 e-readers and the selection of ebooks either through gift cards or direct purchases from Kindle and Nook stores. 2. Teachers and students could request ebooks which would then be purchased, cataloged in a Google spreadsheet, and loaded onto the appropriate e-readers for circulation. 3. The program was promoted to students through various means including orientations, posters, and social media, and ebooks were integrated into curriculum through assignments and recreational reading. Future plans include addressing challenges like sharing ebooks across devices.
![Look, no one is happy with Nook, we know
we need a new e-reader strategy but its not
easy when you look at [the competitors] we
re up against.
