i'd like to mention about the interacting with paperback books. my 17 month old has lots of books which have "lift the flap", which she loves and will do herself, as well as toggles to pull to make things move or pop out. fantastic. not sure how you'd do that with an ereader. although i assume these are relatively new features for childrens books, it illustrates the tactile aspect. my 17 month old can manipulate a book with ease, but i don't think she'd have the dexterity to manipulate technology in the same way.
we have a bookshelf where she can see and access the books and chooses books for us to read to her. i don't see how this would work on a device? even at her age she can pick up a book and look through it. I can't see this working on any ipod/ereader/computer. I can't help but think that this is encouraging an enjoyment of books and in the future will aid her when she learns to read.
just my thoughts on the issue. :-)
