Part of why kids have no problems with downloading MP3s and games? They can't buy them. There is no kids-shop-here online store of any sort. The transactions all require a credit card or similar financial arrangement--and most don't take gift cards, which are the only easily-accessible cards most kids have.
Excellent point - and one that had completely passed me by.
Also, of course, the readers would not be bought by children, for the same reason, even if they were to make economical sense.
