Great points. I'll add back some of my copy and content from the old site. If libraries buy at all, it'd be sold as an antidote to shrinking budgets: the app would be a way to virtually expand shelves without the expense of paper books, ebooks or shelf space (every book has previews and full text links). There's a lot of talk right now about libraries and their future in a digital world. I really think libraries will need some kind of a digital interface to browse collections in the future, as search boxes simply aren't enough--we don't always know exactly what we're looking for. I'm not alone in thinking this way. This particular app may not be the final solution to that problem, of course, but it's an attempt. I understand kids won't flock to libraries just to use this app, but I can see it being a draw while they're already there, kind of like haphazardly browsing bookshelves was for the last generation.
