Thanks for your concerns Harry. As I said in my OP there are special needs as to why he has to have eink over a tablet. This kid will read for hours if I let him. My initial attraction is that for his curriculum there are a lot of classics he needs to read that we can get free as ebooks.
I am going to give him my Sony for now and wait for a sale on Kindle. Then between the two we have all bases covered if I need to get him to read something quickly and don't have time to convert.
I can add portables to my home insurance but the excess is $100 or $200 from memory. I think that is the only option in Australia. The kids bundle is a great offer for US residents though.
Thank you for all the replies and helping me think it through. This forum is a wonderful resource I have learnt a lot from all my searching so thank you.
