Hi Stuart,

We circulate about 25 Nooks here at San Diego State. We treat them like 
a book on a 30 day course reserve loan ($1/day late fee). If they are 
lost or broken they would be subject to the default book replacement fee 
(less than $100). We figured we had books that were as expensive so we 
didn't need to treat them as a special case.

We haven't circulated tablets yet. If we did, we would probably go for a 
less expensive option, like the Nexus 7 and treat them similarly, but 
with a shorter loan period.
