Thanks everyone, sounds a non-starter then. Input was much appreciated. I would not consider buying it myself (you can see I own a Kindle & iPad 2) but as something cheap for the kids it was worth asking the question. Back to the drawing board of choices I guess, and I know they will end up delegating that task to me too.
If anyone else here has any suggestions (they live in Australia which might constrain the options a bit) feel free. iPads are not even remotely an option, and the Kindle being B&W plus poor PDF support (which most kids books are) isn't either. It is just to hopefully encourage the 5/8yr old kids to read more books, so I would rather it didn't have games, internet etc "stuff" on it.
