Conclusion: a good presentation of what is being done at Middelsbrough College for students, an impressive collection on their mobile app (altough I have to say, oxford mobile is not too bad and going to be improved soon for its library pages in particular)

interesting discussion with the others about ebooks readers: there are copyright issues with amazon. As usual I declared my love once again for project Gutenberg and any other free things I can find on the web :-)
