While I admire parents who read to their children, I fear that MobileReaders are an unrepresentative sample. The issue is what does the average parent do. It seems that more and more to keep their children amused, parents don't hand their children a book: they hand them (insert electronic device here).
If that is the case, there will less and less demand for children's books and therefore less of a chance for children's book writers to make money.
I have a friend who wants to go into writing children's books. I have to say, based on this article, that my advice will be that she try her hand at a children's content app. ( She's a techie).
