Question Kids and eBook Readers

Contrary to my better sense, I have let both my 4½ year old niece and my 20-month old nephew play with my Libre. The little guy is totally fascinated with the "book", plugs in the earphone, tries out all the buttons (and has even figured out how to turn it on) and studies the screen as if he was reading it. My niece, who is beginning to read, is also intrigued by it and has already asked me if I would get her one. I gave her the "when you are a little older" line, mainly because I want her to practice her reading on "real" books where there are pictures, colors and different font types and book sizes.

But it made me realize how easily both adapt to the technology and how both of them have no problem figuring out how to work the devices, which speaks well for the design of the reader.

So what about the rest of you, have you allowed children to use your Libres or Jetbooks?
