I haven't checked into what our library system has in this realm yet but the library system is pretty good here so I assume we can borrow from them. Any recommendations?
I think young kids (elementary school age) enjoy real books, they like colorful pictures and just turning of the real pages. If you want to go digital I thing some kind of netbook or cheap notebook/tablet will do better job then the regular boring for younger kids grayish ebook reader.

This is just my opinion
