eBooks are great but will never entirely kill off books. Personally I find an ebook to be useless for anything that does not contain entirely text, pictures or diagrams are messed up or just hard to appreciate properly. An iPad/tablet is required for anything with images eg. Technical books or graphic novels (usually as PDF). But none of them will offer the feel of a book. My kids could easily have an ebook but I think the value in learning to love an actual book far outweighs any benefit an eresrer would give them.


If your kids are the right age, can you have them try reading this on their iPad?…

if slightly senior. I'm looking for some outside-in feedback, though kids in my neighborhood have so far liked the experience.
