I wouldn't read ebooks to my kid. I have a kindle and it is currently my preferred method of reading. I don't like reading a book as it always get damaged and it bugs me when I am left with a 600 page book taking up shelf space.

However... for a child I think it is imperative that they learn about books and libraries. There is so much technology around it is important to me that his room is free from all technology for as long as possible.

Also, for young children I think it is nice for them to be able to pick up and choose a book and not flick through some options on a single device to get to the story they want. In time this may be what my kid does.. but i'll be damned if I do anything to promote it.
