My youngest little lady has a language disability. That is; she has a reading, comprehension and mathematics ability somewhat lower than her age. This presents itself in the form of bad spelling, difficulty expressing concepts etc in written form and mathematic problem solving. Verbally, she has no issues in the main expressing herself but often finds the wrong words to describe issues.
Two years ago, she developed a love of reading. You might think this a bit silly, but she fell in love with the Twilight series and through that now loves reading fantasy novels. Her current fav being Tamora Pierce. She also has the full Tolkien series in her expanding book collection.
I have shown her my PRS-300 and Kobo, explained e-ink displays to her but her comment is always...
"Daddy, great way to read, but at the moment I love the smell of books!"
So in short, no, my 16 year old baby girl does not want to read ebooks....yet.
However she loves to read online Manga romance comics! So I made an affirmative to the poll.
