I would say that if any 11 year old sounds like they could handle an e-book reader successfully, then yours does. However, I think it going to school is simply too problematic, not because of your girl, but due to everyone else involved.

I hope that my opinion is helpful.
It is. And why I am thinking of holding off for now... best for her to continue to take regular books to school. Thank you.
