I can understand that children's books are not the main market for reader devices right now, but I found ridiculous when Kobo and Sony (AFAIK) have a Children category which can include everything from 0 to 18 years old!

I really believe that it's matter of time that new children's books (up to 12 years old?) will be released soon, so it doesn't make sense put everything in one category.

Another day I was looking for books for my 9 and 11 years old children and I really had hard time to find something suitable for them and also to separate what is children's and what is teen's books.

By the way, I don't think vampire-sensual content is really suitable for early teenagers but this is another discussion. What I really want to see is a better way to see this category. Something like 0-4, 4-8, 9-12 and teen should be acceptable (like Amazon and Chapters websites).

Cheers

Paulo
