>My daughter... she has an eReader, it is lying around the house always discharged as she despises it, she wants the "real" thing, and sometimes that means the right art-cover. I already promised to get rid of many of my old computer books to make more space for her books, as we already ran out of walls to put bookcases...
I think it is very good that she reads (regardless of the format). My kids (as well as me and my wife) switched to iPad/Kindle and I don't see a way back to paper books, ever.
