loopeylisle, I remember as a child looking at my mom's hardback books and thinking they looked so large and dull, I could not ever imagine reading them. I understood that kids books look different from grown-up books. I don't think a child would have trouble with 'I read books this way and Mummy reads books that way.' As long as you read books with her, talk about reading books etc. I will always enjoy a good book store, and that can be a fun place to take a child. You could have the weekly ritual of going to the library together and choosing books to read to her. Maybe curling up with a paper book for a bedtime story could be your nightly ritual. And at other times, sure, play with the Kindle, let her press the buttons, show her the screen of text, talk about the books Mummy is reading. And one day, when she hits the chapter book phase, download a Magic School Bus book for her or something and then tell her SHE can read a book on Mummy's Kindle too...
