Hello, perhaps as a parent who taught each of our four children to read I can offer a little insight. In my humble opinion for very young children who experience the world through their fingers, as well as respond to bright colors as well as the physical experience of handling a book, I wouldn't recommend using an ereader. IMO an ereader is for after a child has become an excellent reader (3r/4th grade). Another reason is that there is the wonderful library experience, where you all walk over and pick out new books and cuddle up with them together. There really is nothing which beats that experience.
BTW, all four of our kids are voracious readers (ages 12, 14, 17 and 18). Each of them learned quite differently and if there is one thing I can say, it's that reading and learning to love reading is more important than pretty much anything your child will ever learn. It's not something you wish to mess up because it's quite difficult to undo bad habits or inspire discouraged readers.
Hope this helps!
