It also looks like PDFs that are text based and not image based would be optimal for an ereader. Is that right? Makes sense.
Thanks again everyone!

That is correct. For image based PDFs or PDFs with complex layouts like tables and things like that, a tablet is a better choice. I recommend an iPad with GoodReader app. I ended selling my Kindle DXG basically because that. Although, I missed the DXG weigh and eink screen. But it is certainly faster to navigate PDFs with a tablet.
Regarding your concern with Kindle or eink readers with children, I would not worry to much. To be honest and straight to the point, porn should not be an issue because watching porn on an eink reader is basically impossible or a torture , lol ... because the refresh rate.
If you want to limit accidental purchases, you can open an account and setup a prepaid VISA or something like that.
I don't have kids yet but I would love to promote reading on them. A Kindle is probably a better way to spend time than a PS3 or a XBOX.
So go ahead and buy a Kindle wifi so they can start enjoying books right away.
