It's like giving a teenager a ColecoVision instead of an XBox.
(sigh)

Really? There are plenty of folks who like the keyboard and the buttons. Touch screens do not cure cancer or make life oh so wonderful. The hyperbole associated with Touch Screens is so out of whack.

My 11 year old Nephew uses the family Kindle, it is pretty much his, and loves it. He has had no problems with using it and knows that if he buyss a book that he is not authorized to buy he will lose access to his Kindle. The other plus is that I can lend him books from my account for him to read.
