I wonder if it's easier to disinfect ebook readers than paper copies?

(I'll let you fill in your own jokes about your organisation's annual report, etc...) Alternatively, if someone else at your hospital provides this, do you know who - volunteers, the local public library? Any information you can share about how it works would be most welcome. We currently have a trolley of donated books which is wheeled round the wards by volunteers, but I've been asked to find out what other hospitals do.
