I have a two year old (well almost a three year old), who I generally read to every night before bed. Occasionally, when we are away from home we will be in a situation where there are no books available. As a result I have used the iStory app on my smartphone (I turn off the read aloud feature and I read the stories). When we are at home, or the houses of his grandparents, he never asks for me to read one of the iStory stories, he wants his books.
Mind you he is not techno shy either, he loves videos on the computer... but I think he loves being able to touch the books.
I think kids books will be around for a while still.
