Amazon blows six ways to Sunday, but if I had children I'd read to them from e-books as well as real books.

Hi
It is cheaper to download for free from Kickass or pirate bay torrents as they have a very large ebook library. Depends where you are in the world if Kickass is banned use an unblock site to access the torrents. I am personally not a fan of ebook and prefer physically holding a book and turning the pages as I read. I do however agreed with Hailey's advice(hi Hailey!)For children the ritual and process of reading a book to them is far better and more valuable than giving them an ebook unless it is out of practical or necessity.

Sorry, I never heard of children (2-8 of age) reading e-books in their toy PC, or on the Net.
I agree this will change one day ...

Oh, my, am I outdated or what? ...

It doesn't matter what format you read to your children from as long as you read to them.

Sorry, I never thought at parents buying e-books to read to their kids.  I was already thinking about kids buying and reading themselves.
Mea culpa.

Can now parents buy your books IN YOUR PROFILE using Bitcoins?

Yes.

My 5 year old daughter reads ebooks on her android phone.
They tend to be very simple things, but she does read them.

Wow, how times change.
I got my first PC right in April 1995 when Windows '95 came out, now I make a full time living because of it  ...

I remember Beatles in 1965, everybody was upset by the band's fringe hair cut and flare trousers said they will go away in 2-3 years ...
Beatles not only did not go away, but also wrote nice songs after nice songs making even the naysayers buy LPs making in turn the band stay in business ...
I am glad to hear your 5-year old progress.  I do not even have an android phone.  I run business on a smart phone with Internet access which I never used on it, but I use the phone as an external modem to one of my main computers and I pay US$15 / month for Internet access.
What will your daughterÂ’s children play with when they are 5 of age? ...

P.S. you did not answer to my other post 'Would you live in Mayreau?'
When to expect your comment?

To old fuddy duddies, smartphones are new and strange things.
To a five year old, they make a great toy she can play games and watch TV on.
She discovered ebooks whilst looking for cartoons.
The really nice thing, they read it out to her after she's had a go at saying the words.

You are so right ... I am humbled by the experience ...

(edited) But you still did not post any comment in my other thread here.  Never mind, I know you're busy with other threads ... or other e-books ...
