The other thing I had looked at was Disney Digital Books, which you need a computer (and internet?) to access, and it's subscription-based. So it's not as portable as the Vtech (unless you have a netbook), but it's a very cool idea. I haven't been able to figure out the pricing yet; the site is impossible to navigate. Do you pay for a subscription AND pay for the books? If you stop paying the sub, do you lose the books you "purchased"?
EDIT: using Google (the site was worthless) I was able to determine that Disney Digital Books costs $8.95/month and it appears that gives you access to all their books. If you stop paying, you lose access to the content.

so with the Disney system you are basically only leasing the books? that doesn't seem fair. for $8.95 you can pretty much buy any children's book I would think
if I am ever blessed with grandkittens I would like to try to get them into ereaders by age 10 at least if the schools haven't already pre-empted that choice
