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.

and give that same kid a choice between a touchscreen and a push button one and I guantree you he will pick a touchscreen over a push button.
there's a more of "wow that's cool" factore especially on smaller children.

again I stand by by comment giving a child a kindle over a touchscreen device would be like give a teenager a colecovision instead of an X Box.
