@Chris – The screen is not LCD, but “electronic ink”, and it works GREAT in direct light. It was designed that way. It doesn’t wash out at all, like an LCD does.

@Aaron – Actually, there are quite a few children’s books in the Kindle Store, but I’d be more inclined to keep them on my Kindle for reading to my children, rather than loading up the Kindle and handing it over to them to read. It’s not color, and neither of them are old enough to “get” reading a boring, black and white page yet.

I’d love to have a look at your book – my email is jabancroft at gmail dot com. Thanks!

Hi Josh;

Nice video review.

However, there aren’t many books available at all for small children like your son, especially for the Kindle, that don’t require an internet connection or downloading additional software.

All of these options tie the parent to a desktop/laptop unfortunately. But what about the parent(s) who has a Kindle or Sony Reader or other ereading device?

As a father of a six year old, I’ve had to create my own solution and wanted to offer you a review copy of “Good Morning, Friend Moon”

It’s optimized for the Kindle and I’d be happy to send you a copy for your review.
