I've got kids in the same age group as the OP. My 9 yo can definitely handle an ereader as easily as his Wii, DSi, & Xbox 360 electronics which cost more than these ereaders. As for the young teenager, mine and his friends have itouches and/or iphones that are more expensive than ereaders. I have seen my friend's 3yo daughter videotaping her 9yo brother's basketball game with the Iphone. Kids can handle electronics with care and ease.

I'm getting the Aluratek Libre for Cmas. I've already looked at the digital library of the cities' of my relatives. Their selection is way bigger than my local digital library. So I am looking forward for my kids to use it also esp for their summer reading requirements.
