carriede Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I was looking through the Sonlight Preschool book list to get some ideas for something new to read. I searched for the book of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. There's a couple of print editions available... but it's free on Kindle! I have an iPod Touch that I sometimes read books on for myself. Do any of you read eBooks to your young (oldest dc is 4) as you would a story book? Would the iPod be too small (as opposed to an iPad or Kindle) or does it even matter? Perhaps I'm over thinking this... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.m Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 If it's free, why don't you try it and see if you like it? When mine were that little ebooks were just starting. Now we use them all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I read eBooks on my iPod touch but it is eyes straining. For read-alouds, there are plenty of classics free on the iPad. You can also use the kindle app on the iPad. My kids prefer reading on the iPad as they can enlarge the font size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwik Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I read stuff to them on the kindle. The main problem I find is that the pictures are b&w if they are there and often due to copyright issues they are not there at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piper Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I have loads of kids classics on my Nexus 7. I don't hand it over to the kids for read- alone - I'd rather they borrow it from the library and enjoy the feel of the physical book - but it's fabulous for read-alouds. 2/3 of the way through Wind in the Willows at the moment. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
