You need colour LCD 10" or larger for many illustrated Children's books. About €130 if you ignore Apple and Samsung.
A 10" eink is serious money and 14 greys, black and white.
Why is LCD forbidden? Surely the kids aren't reading for more than an hour at a time if that?

I'm a great fan of eink and I know many young kids with 6" eink, though a 7" Kobo Libra is now a better choice than a Kindle, except for the extra steps of putting Amazon sold eBooks.

But an eink is best for text and only reading. A 10" LCD tablet is 1/2 the price of 7" to 8" eink and general purpose. It can have Borrowbox, Overdrive, Kobo, Kindle, Google playbook apps etc.

It depends too on age range and content.

If they are not reading real ebooks on their own gadget, then the projector is best. Note that PDFs are for previewing print and are not real ebooks. You need at least a 10" and maybe 12"+ for all PDFs. Graphic novels / European comic books need colour and 10" to 12".

You really want better than HD video projector, or Portrait HD for PDFs.
