It's horses for courses. Novels that are all text are perfect on Kindle, or any other eReader. Beautiful pop-up childrens' books will never gain anything by being on an eReader, nor books full of photos and amazing illustrations, or those which are exquisitely bound. The books I read in bed, take on holiday or travel with, are ideally kept on the Kindle and save so much space and weight.
I see lots of benefits for children in the technology around them, but see plenty of evidence of them abandoning technology to play dens under the table or hide and seek. They can choose, and if we see signs of them being too engrossed in the TV, Wii, X-Box or iPad, we can tell them it's time to stop for now. Enough is enough.
