I downloaded (from the Android Market) an "app" to my Samsung Fascinate phone "The Grinch That Stole Christmas" and it's basically an illustrated book. It wasn't sold through any kind of "ereader" channel. With my rooted Nook Color I was able to install it on there, too, and it's fabulous!

So not only does there seem to be a push for illustrating children's books and selling via ereader channels, but now other companies are converting/making illustrated books and pushing out via the Android Market.

BTW, this book is not showing up on Barnes & Noble's Nook library.
