Although eInk screens can only be read in the daylight, reading in the dark is absolutely no problem; use a light! For the Kindle, for example, Amazon sell a very nifty cover with a built-in light, powered by the Kindle itself, that simply pulls out from a corner of the cover. Works beautifully.
eBook readers and young children really are not a happy combination. Treat it as you would, say, a laptop computer, and you'll be fine. A decent cover is ESSENTIAL for added protection.
