This is great news! My son is getting to the point where is likes a nice mix of paper and electronic books. This is a great time for him to start reading these classic childhood stories.
He already has quite a few books loaded on his Sony Reader and a couple of full bookshelves in his room to choose from. Until he hit the 'chapter book' level he had a decided preference to paper books, the colourful pictures were a big draw I think.
I think paper books are always going to be a big part of childhood for a few reasons. My son loves to carry around his favourite books and show them off, the pictures are much brighter and for the younger ages they add tactile aspects to the books, also it's important to have no screen time at bedtime to keep the stimulation levels down.
