Kindle borrowing

Are you a student at Dutchess Community College? Have you ever tried using an e-reader?  If not, here's your chance. You can now borrow a Kindle and experience first hand what reading on an e-device is like. Perfect for vacations or for people on the move, e-readers such as the Nook, Kindle or even the iPad are easily portable with various capabilities for downloading titles on the fly. The device we have to loan is an early model Kindle, but it will give you a sense of what using one of these devices is like and if it suits your lifestyle.  Stop by the Circulation desk to check out the Kindle and review the rules for borrowing the device.
