Do people buy MG and YA ebooks?
I'm wondering if folks purchase ebooks in MG and YA?

Do they buy them to read themselves? Or for their kids? I know that I have kids and wouldn't spend that much on an ereader for them since they barely take care of their cellphones.

I believe the only way I would purchase one for them would be if they begged for it, or their school books were accessible on it.

I'm guessing YA is Young Adult, but haven't got a clue about MG.

MG stands for Middle Grade fiction IIRC.



MG being ages 8-12 and YA being 12 and up.

Thanx for the clarification. Yes, I buy and read YA and MG title, but mainly because I'm encouraging my son to be a read. It's not his favorite thing to do, but he will get into competing with me, and we enjoy discussing the books.
