I considered that Delstar a couple of weeks ago ... but I see this for $162.99 at Buy.com now. It might be worth the extra $63 to get the Sony and see if I can squeeze an hour or two a week of reading out of him.
I really don't think you should force it, but look for opportunities to provide him with reading materials he enjoys -- comics, a particular interest - nature, animals, science, airplanes, etc... That is the best way to encourage reading.
