I've actually been reading "The Chronicles of Narnia" to my 6 year old a little each night (approximately a chapter at a time), on my iLiad. It's gone over pretty well. I obviously won't let her handle/play with the device, but she's been happy just listening and does a pretty good job of paying attention. She likes the small pictures that are thrown in every couple of pages, even though they're not color. My 4 year old, on the other hand, does have some attention problems, but he likes to come over every time there's a picture and take a peek. I think he's a little young yet for concentrating on a story that long.
IMO, spending time reading a story with her parents is probably more important to her than whether it's in color or has video.
