ficbot I had heard from a friend that her child had been considered advanced because they were able to turn pages but I was a bit sceptical till you mentioned about reading readiness being assessed by can they hold the book the right way. I feel reassured that you feel children are able to understand mummy reading on an ereader. In no way would i want or expect it to take the place of paper books, i just want her to understand what mummy uses it for.

kindlekitten, thanks for link to a great thread. ah some of those authors really take me back... might have to reread some of them ;-D

thanks for the advice everyone. very interesting. makes me realise that although i've heard people say that ereaders herald the doom of books like mp3 players did for cds, nothing will ever be really able to replace paper books.
