Mass Paperback Publisher Goes All Digital


If this is the start of a trend, the outlook for children's books is bleak. Few printers could remain financially viable if all the publishers could send them were children's books. But the thought of trying to read a picture book to a three year old on an ebook reader horrifies me. Another cause for concern is that bullies already target vulnerable children for their mobile phones. How much more vulnerable will they be if they have ebook readers as well, which they will have if school books are also only published as ebooks?


My video presentation on this very fact. Do we anticipate our tenderfoot readers to leap from picture book primers straight on to reading from the internet?

By the way figures for on-line reading are wholly unreliable. I have had 6000 views of my free sample chapter, but there is no way of telling if people read beyond the first line or not.
"A,B&E", "Not In My Name" and "52FF" (flash fiction anthology) all available on Amazon Kindle
