I also have a 3 1/2 yr old son. We read before bed everyday and he chooses two books. He now tries to "read" them to me also which I encourage (describes what's on the pictures). I showed him my ereader but he couldn't care less, what with the grey screen and black letters. Btw, any parent also turning green in the face while reading the same story every evening day in day out for 6 months on demand? But I survived!
