Chrildrens E-reader

[scrappydappydoo]

DD is turning 7 in March - I've just seen this on sale. She has shown a lot of interest in my kindle but they're a lot of money and was wondering if this might be a good substitute?? or is she too young?? Any thoughts appreciated...

That looks really good and says age 3 up.

I would think it a great compromise

Bought dd a kindle just over a year ago - she turned 8 yesterday and she has read it every day and gets books v cheaply on it so I would probably go for the real thing. It has been worth its weight in terms of getting her to love reading and for the car/ plane etc... Definitely not too young. Hth

I am being thick here, how do you get books for it?

Well that was one of my questions Dorset - i guess in a similar way that you get them for non-kindle ereaders?
Alexw - which kindle does your dd have?

Can you borrow ebook s from the library with that one?

It's one.

I would go for the real thing too. It'll be worth the money in the long run.

Have a look at he kobo too, our local library has started loaning out ebooks. You can read them on the kobo but not the kindle. Naive had a kindle for a couple of years and am seriously considering the kobo glo.

It looks nice, but it doesn't say what format of e books it's suitable for.

A mini kobo was only £49 last I looked and they are very sturdy and you can borrow books from the library on them too.

Our library now has children's e-books and of course you can buy through the kobo store or smiths/waterstones etc.

Shouldn't have read your post hugo, now I really, really want a Kobo Glo! .

I'm a kobo pusher

Hmm - lots to think about - don't think I'll get the argos one but might think about a kobo but I think I'll leave it until maybe next Christmas..

You've got me hooked hugo
