Nonsense. I'm not even sure why you equate printed paper as the true form. It certainly isn't the original form of a written story or literature. Maybe we should go back to painting on cave walls if we really want original authenticity for our children. Or, you can chip at some stone tablets and I'll hire a couple of monks to write out some scrolls?
A paper book (a real book) in your terms. Is simply a step in the progression of mass publishing. Paper books are wonderful things, but a child who is reading on a device is still reading and learning. The stories are in no way at all "Twitter-ized" as you well know.
