This is proven especially helpful for students with dyslexia and impaired vision, by allowing adjustments to text font, backlights, colors, and text to speech.

The school library sector has a symbiotic relationship with small, independent publishers and vendors, akin to that between academic libraries and university presses.

Individual libraries are trying different programs to see what works, and the publishers and vendors in the K—12 market are working with school libraries in a strong partnership. Their efforts have been most successful in nonfiction and reference resources, but school libraries are hoping to work with public libraries to meet bestseller fiction needs. In addition, ebook adoption seems to be most successful and efficient at the district or regional level, though individual libraries are having great success with small trial programs as well.

In order to protect their own creative inspirations, they should understand and respect the ownership of content and learn to license content for their own protection as creators, producers and consumers.
