Agreed, this is why I will not be handing over my *extra* eink ebook reader to my son. The last thing I want is his first experience with his own reader to end in a cracked screen.

I was excited to see some mainstream kids companies coming out with dumbed down ebook readers. It gives me hope that there could be a sturdy kid friendly ebook reader in the future that will allow me to load public domain kids books onto it.
