Hmm... setting aside books read on terminal/desktop/laptop screens (I've been involved with computing since punchcards, so I'm another "oldie"), I read my first ebooks on a Handspring Visor Prism. I loved that device!

My first titles-read were PG and BlackMask, but my first commercial titles were Star Trek TOS ebooks purchased from the Adobe Ebook Store (anyone remember that?).

Of course, those ebooks don't open anymore, despite me keeping the same Adobe account. *fumes quietly*

Another poster's mention of interactive CDs reminds me of my 2-year-old daughter in 1993, having a wonderful time with Living Books. They are still one of her favourite memories.
