Are E-books in Style in Children's Books?
Are E-books in Style in Children's Books?
For a while, e-books were all the rage. Parents bought kindles and readers for their children for Christmas and birthdays. I was one of those parents. As teenagers, my boys, using the kindle or any reader was short-lived. But now, they have picked it up again and are reading e-books more than heavy books that they would have to carry. My guys are adults now so they are reading mostly adult books as e-books. But do kids read e-books? I did some research. The local librarian in my hometown says that e-books are on their way in again. Go to any library website and you will find a list of e-books for children. Kids are on-line more these days than they ever were so don't be surprised if they want to read a book on their kindle. I have a book on kindle that is a chapter book for children ages 7-10. I was surprised to find it listed in so many different countries!
In the U.S.A. Cool!

I do think e-books are coming back in style. There is plenty of evidence on Amazon Kindle and many other platforms out there!
How do you get your e-book into the library system if you are a children's author? That question remains for me to do more research.

I did a statistically insignificant survey--my nine-year-old granddaughter says e-books are easier to read, and my eight-year-old grandson says it doesn't make any difference!
