I did not say all of primary---I said pre-chapter books. Kids learning how to read. I am comparing the paper book to a math manipulative---we do have third graders who use those form time to time while learning a new math concept, for example, but the bulk of the use is by the little ones. And the math manipulative industry (and trust me, there are dozens of catalogues for this sort of product) has not been threatened at all by the existence of the calculator.
I know several second graders who would love ebooks. I would not give it to a kindergartner though.
