I am looking for a book reader for children I recently saw on TV, but can’t remember where I saw it. It is definitely for younger children and is said to have many picture books. If anyone has heard about it and can give me more information I would truly appreciate it.

The kindle is amazing and you do not truly appreciate one until you have it. Now there are so many websites putting up public domain books in kindle format getting plenty to read does not have to cost a fortune.

I used to also have the orig. Kindle… It took me a while to work out how to use it, but once I did it was pretty cool.

@ Bsd (who said: For the life of me I can’t figure out why anyone would want to use an electronic book instead of a real book)…

I think part of the appeal is being able to download books etc, and also read them on trains etc, without them getting bent and stuff……

With the iPhone becoming more popular it seems that it just a software issue as the device itself is small enough to be carried around easily (it already is) and the screen is big enough to read easily enough.

There are already a few application doing just this. I have only tried a few and the one I found best was Stanza.

Interestingly, Lexcycle the company behind Stanza was bought by Amazon not so long ago. It will be interesting to see what developments will be made in the e-book front in the next few years.

For me, I’m all about the iPhone Kindle app. Much more portable, and plus it’s always on me, since it’s my phone. For $300, you have got to read a LOT of books.

I got my daughter the kindle and she loves it! The books available online that are in public domain have done a great job of giving her some stuff to read.

Though Amazon.com is moving aggressively into digital books, Kindle is still a niche product, though of a high level and quality. In addition to mentioned advantages – is optimized to lessen eyestrain (can’t say this about PDAs and mobile phones). But Amazon should be more flexible with pricing of ebooks – either the pricing on Kindle titles will have to go down drastically or Amazon will have to develop a used eBook marketplace.

My best pocket e-book reader is QuickOffice LM(Adobe Reader). An awesome mobile application that I use to read e-books with my nokia series 60 smartphone.

I am using a convertible tablet laptop as a book reader. The only annoying thing is narrow viewing angle and the heat, otherwise is pretty good and compatible with all possible file formats (html, mht, pdf, doc, help) since it runs windows xp
