Children books (not highschool or college) ... I read from the iPad; its not comparable to the book - think we would agree ?
Am imagining all those huge Encyclopedia volumes A-Z; with wide pages; well colored - compressed into a 10 inch screen.
As I said; unless the situation is dire (like they mentioned - the kids dont have books) I would rather they get engaged with the gadgets when older..
(but that my opinion)
