I want a dedicated book reader so that I can have my laptop back, lol! And he can take it outside when we travel.

How many books can the ebookwise take? Can it take pdfs? Can it take a 10 year old handling it?

It is fairly rugged but the screen is breakable so it needs some care. It cannot take PDF's directly. They need to be converted. PDF's are a problem for all readers in that they are generally targeted at full paper sizes (letter/A4) and don't scale well to the smaller screens. The maximum memory on the eBookwise is 128M which can hold several hundred books but it is easily updated from a computer to change the books on the device. There are lots of free books on this web site for this reader.
