Off-Topic: Marking e-readers for circulation

[M. Jean Williams-Adams]

The ereaders (ipod, ipads) we purchased from Apple came with our
Libraries name, etc. on them, that was a plus that Apple gave us.  The
ipods cost from $199 (8GB) -$299 (32GB).  We also circulate the SONY and
the NOOK ereaders.  You can etch information on them but be very
careful.

I'm sure there's an etching or engraving machine that would do the job.

Dawn, how many e-readers and what kind of e-readers are you circulating?

Can you share how much each cost?

Do you have a budget for replacements/upgrades?

We are going to be circulating e-readers soon. We are looking for a
permanent way to put ownership markings on them. Has any library out
there solved this dilemma? Can anyone think of a good list to which I
can post this question?

 

Thank you,

 

Dawn
