I'm fairly certain she'd feel the same way with regard to the eReader devices. She already thinks they're cool by what I've shown via pics and told her, but put it in a store where she can play with it... you've got a customer! Why not capture their enthusiasm when they're in grade school (chapter readers) and have been born surrounded by so much technology!

I totally agree with you! My 5 yr old is always asking me to read to him from my Cybook, and wonders why Daddy doesn't have any kids books on his Cybook!!! I have about 5 kids books loaded and am currently reading him "
The Little Prince" (Thanks Patricia!!) a chapter or two at a time. He is loving it! He does make me increase the font size, so that he can "see" the words. I'm more than willing to do it, anything to get him hooked on the written word in any format.
Early exposure to to an eBook reader of any kind has to be a good thing for future sales.
