I too will pass on the Disney lease model, that's way to high for a lease. I can buy the book for the same price and have something of value on the other end to show for it. If I was going to read any disney with my son I would probably buy the disney book from somewhere like Kobo or Borders rather than leasing it. I don't like the idea of a lease rather than a purchase seems like way too much dollars for that.
As for the readers I don't want to hand my son a device that costs that much, my ereader is one of the cheaper ones and works great. I don't think that he is a candidate for one as yet, he has a tendency to destroy all of his toys and $90 for a toy that he will wind up destroying seems to be way to expensive for my tastes. First he will get a smart phone then an ereader. The smart phone seems like a security thing, he is coming home from school and misses his buss home so he pulls out the cell phone and calls mom. He is out with his pals and someone falls and gets hurt so he pulls out his cell and calls mom or pop, seems like a security thing for me. Ereaders, when he can resist destroying it.
