Just shows how out-of-touch publishers are... because laptops, handhelds, portable game machines, etc, are perfectly good readers. In fact, where adults might balk at using them, kids get used to them readily (who do you think got the world started on Blackberry-sized keyboards?).
I don't know, I would tend to think it's because publishers assume that, on the whole, kids today don't
want to read (the occasional Harry Potter book notwithstanding).
