I think it's a matter of kids being tactile which results in them being more interested in paper than ebooks. And of course kids are very hard on toys, etc. as they are kids. Ereaders aren't the most robust things. It's very easy to accidentally crack the screen substrate on one. My first k3 met its end when it accidentally fell to the floor and the screen substrate cracked. Why they aren't all faced with gorilla glass I don't know. The Kindle Fire's screen is better protected (by the glass) than the screen of the eink readers are.
