Good point about the stylus issue. My more pressing concern would be letting them go at a touchscreen at all. Given that they are taught at this age to point as they read, I am just picturing them accidentally turning pages and exiting the book every time they touch a word, and I don't think that is a problem ebook manufacturers thought of when designing these sorts of products. If we ever do get to a point where the tech is cheap enough and the books available enough that someone wants to market a reader specifically for kids, the touching issue will have to be addressed. Either you don't have a touchscreen and you have a tool they can use to point with, or you do have a touchscreen but you are able to lock it somehow so they can do some things by touching (e.g. have a word read to them?) but not have to worry about them turning the pages by mistake...
