Jennifer,
I've had faculty request Kindle-only eBooks before. What I did was first
verify that the book wasn't offered in any supportable format (print, or
through an academic eBook vendor). I took that information (either yes, or
no) back to the faculty member and explained how we as an institution
cannot purchase Kindle books, shared the alternatives, if there were any,
and then continued to work with the faculty member going forward.
Hope that helps!
