I entered the Kindle in Destiny and then also added each title in the 730 section of the MARC record. It wasn't difficult, and when kids search for that book they get the kindle as well as print as results

Subject: [CASL-L] Kindle content

Good morning colleagues,

Our library has 28 Kindles, and each Kindle has specific content.  I would
like to find a way to catalog the content (as opposed to the ereaders) in
Destiny.

In the past, we have created one record for each Kindle device, and then
included the individual titles as "chapters" in the MARC record.  This is
not ideal since the Kindles do not come up unless the student searches
using the "keyword" option.

Any suggestions for how to better catalog the book titles?
