Summary: For Their Children, Many E-Book Fans Insist on Paper

Publishers and developers are still creating children’s E-books, but many E-Book readers are trying to give to their children just old-fashioned books, it means, printed books. Parents say that devices can get children’s attention, and they don’t read, because their interests are playing games. Junko Yokota, is a professor and director of the Center for Teaching Children’s Books at National Louis University in Chicago, and he says “…the shape and size of the book are often part of the reading experience”, and also books can bring an emotional and intellectual experience, because books are a rite of passage, for example, when children learn to eat with utensils. Books are also important to engage all the senses, as smelling and touch.
