Good morning and aloha,
Has anyone figured out a way to discover if a Kindle title has been distributed internationally? And if yes, in which markets?
I have several professors who are thinking that they can use Amazon Kindle or Google Play for ebooks, but I am thinking that some (many?) titles are only licensed for the US. These are books that are not available for the library to purchase on any usable format (OverDrive is not useful for this) and also are not on VitalSource.)
As many of our international students have returned home, they may or may not have access to a required text. And for those titles on only GooglePlay, students in China cannot access anything Google. And, of course, there is the erroneous assumption that all students have credit cards.
Thank you kindly for sharing your best advice.
Marynelle
