When May a Library Loan a Loaded eBook Reader? Four Scenarios

Check out Mary Minow's answers on LibraryLaw Blog for the following:

  1. The device is empty. The only copyrighted content is the code itself that the device uses to display ebooks.
  2. The device is loaded with public domain content and/or content with permission to lend (such as creative commons licensed content).
  3. The device is loaded with ebooks licensed from a vendor such as Amazon.  The license may allow a limited number of copies such as five or six. 
  4. The device has unauthorized content.
