In todays’ technological age, portable electronic devices are everywhere. They range in price from $50-$600 and can do almost anything a home computer can do.

Are these right for children? Probably not. You stand to lose a lot of money and maybe even personal information if one of these devices gets misplaced.

There are however, ebook readers that only do one thing. Read ebooks. These arent very expensive and dont have many bells and whistles but they are great at what they do. These can be found on sites like Ebay.

One of the older ebook reading devices is the Franklin eBookMan. These do run about $150.00 but are very sturdy and are easy to use. Even a 4 year old could use an eBookMan just fine.

They do have some special features that make them a lot like any typical PDA. This could be overkill for a child but might work for a teenager.

There are many more out there also. Sony has one of the coolest ebook reading devices available. It has easy to read text and is very sturdy.

The best bet for children is still by far the home computer. Its very difficult to damage and you already have one. If you decide you want to get any type of ebook reading device, make sure your child is old enough to use it properly and it wont get broken.

Many game devices allow you to download and read ebooks too. If your child already has a Nintendo DS or PSP, you might check their official sites and see what type of ebook software they support.
