If she loses a Kindle with LOTR on it, that's a substantially bigger hit.
But she's a she; not a 12-yo he.

Anyway, that's cool that she reads. Do you plan to let her read from your Nook?

Once glass substrates are replaced with plastic and the prices fall to the $75-$99 range, ereaders will become more viable for younger kids.
