iPads are big versions of our phones, and just as distracting and compelling as our pocket brain drainers.
An e-reader like the Kindle or Kobo is designed for one thing: reading.
Could they be the ideal way to introduce our kids to technology?

“E-inks are better if you only opt to use something as an alternative for physical books.
They have larger screens than phones, are lighter than tablets and iPads, and have less-harsh backlight.

If your kids are into reading, then that might be all they want or need.
E-inks are better if you only opt to use something as an alternative for physical books.
E-ink has other advantages over tablets, too, which come from the screen tech itself.
Kids on phones have to stick to the shadows.
Kids reading on paper or e-readers can sit where they like.
Theyre also more useful than you might first think.
A book, after all, is pretty boring to look atjust black text on a white page.
