One point I would like to make when I first invested in an eReader over an iPad is that I found the iPad to be a huge distraction. Don't be me wrong, it's a great device but with the rich media contents there is no way I can stay focus on my reading.
Obama said it better, "With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations--none of which I know how to work--information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation,"
Seriously, what kind of kid would want to read a book when Doodle Jump is just a touch away. What kind of student would rather read on the bus then listen to Eminem on the way to school. Most people would rather spend an hour of their break go on youtube with a 10" screen rather then read a book.
The whole point of an eReader was to make my reading experience more enjoyable and convenient and in return, I would increase my read times.
Parents? What do you think? Would you get your kids an eReader or an iPad for Christmas?
