A whole host of publishers are making e-books available for free to low-income children in Title I schools.  "The app will be available to low-income youth who have an educator – either a teacher, program leader, or librarian – signed up with First Book....Any adult who works in a Title I (or Title I eligible) school, or a program or library that serves at least 70% of children from in-need families can sign up with First Book at firstbook.org/openebooks. Once signed up, educators can request access codes for Open eBooks at fbmarketplace.org/openebooks.  If you are interested in accessing Open eBooks for your family and are not an educator, librarian or program lead, please direct your child’s educator to this site to request an Open eBooks access code on your child’s behalf."
