Thanks for your suggestions!

I think you're better off with real books for a toddler. A kindle screen is boring if you aren't into text and the illustrations are shrunk down and B&W. My 1.5yo loves books -- looking at the pictures, turning the pages, taking them on and off the shelf and occasionally nibbling them. You lose much of that with an e-reader.
He even loves playing with electronic devices -- my cell phone, the TV remote, etc. -- but has no interest in my e-readers. They just don't do stuff to catch his attention.
