We have always used free books available on line for our school. You can choose to download them and store them on the computer or just bookmark them. I usually put the current selections on my computer desktop so the children can access them easily. When we are done with the book we delete it from our files.

You can get used PDAs really cheap now. They are not fancy, but they will hold an ebook or two. That might be a more portable option for some families.
ReplyDeleteMany nights I bring my PDA into my daughter's room to read her a bedtime chapter or two. It doesn't look very Rockwell-ish, but it works!
Looks like a great list! :)
