Pat,
Our main library uses just such a system with i-books. The
perimeters of most if not all the floors are wired to transmit to the
laptops. Patrons may check out an i-book from Reserves and use it anywhere
in the library. Everytime the laptop is returned they need to dump anything
that the student added during the time they had it checked out. It looks to
me like you have most everything covered.
