iPad in Education

One of the major advantages of the iPad is that you can use many different e-book readers (and even create books yourself). I have iBooks (free with the iPad but needs to be downloaded) from Apple, Nook from Barnes and Noble, Kindle from Amazon, Google Books (millions of free books that are out of copyright) and even Boarders eBooks by Boarders (I haven't used theirs yet).

I have taken advantage of free book offers and specials from Barnes and Noble, had a few books that I had purchased for the Kindle (we have one, and only one, in the district), but I try to purchase them for iBooks whenever I can.
