September 29th Transcript- e-books, traditional and self-pub, is there a market?

DanyelleLeafty So excited for #mglitchat tonight! E-books--self-pubbed and trad pubbed in MG. Is there an audience? -6:58 PM Sep 29th, 2011


JenniferCEstes Wish I could come to #mglitchat tonight, but family duties are pulling me in. Have a great time! Looking forward to reading the transcript! -6:58 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters There is an audience. We have sold over 350 ebooks this month alone for our mg book. Parents must be buying them for their kids #mglitchat -6:58 PM Sep 29th, 2011

AnshaKotyk 2 min countdown. #mglitchat -6:58 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @JenniferCEstes We'll miss you. :) #mglitchat -6:58 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin Love the topic, can't wait! So glad to be here. #mglitchat -6:59 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @nardinisisters Congratulations! #mglitchat -6:59 PM Sep 29th, 2011

AnshaKotyk @nardinisisters 350 ebooks this month? That's awesome! #mglitchat -6:59 PM Sep 29th, 2011

elliefalcone Let's do this. #mglitchat -6:59 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin @nardinisisters That's amazing! Congrats! #mglitchat -7:00 PM Sep 29th, 2011

TimothyPower_ I don't know from personal experience, but I would guess kids would love to read a book on an ereader. #MGlitchat -7:00 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi #MGlitchat@TimothyPower_ I think so too, yet my impression is that kids don't have them. Does anyone know if that's true? -7:00 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters thanks, we are very excited and pleasantly surprised. didn't realize kids were using ereaders that much either. #mglitchat -7:00 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @TimothyPower_ That's been my experience with the iPad. My kids love them. They also love paper too. :) #mglitchat -7:00 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @DanyelleLeafty Do your kids buy books on the ipad? #MGlitchat -7:00 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin @nardinisisters Maybe another topic, but I'd love to hear about your marketing. #mglitchat -7:00 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly Could someone clarify the topic for me? Are we talking about an ebook that does not have a traditional counterpart? #MGlitchat -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

MGMafioso #mglitchat Not only a mafioso, but also a cro-magnon, I've yet to read an e-book. (Yes, you can register shock!) But I'm willing to learn. -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rachelgrinti @nardinisisters Or for themselves! No real way to be sure. I buy a lot of children's e-books for myself, for example. #mglitchat -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @KristineAsselin Me too! :) #MGlitchat -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

AnshaKotyk Welcome everyone to tonight's #mglitchat on ebooks and the mg audience. -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

elliefalcone I don't have kids and I don't know of any kids who have them. Yet. #mglitchat -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KDuBayGillis Confession....I've never read an e-book. #mglitchat -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @PHCMarchesi I think it depends. But remember, e-readers aren't necessary to read e-books. Computers and cell phones work too. :) #mglitchat -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin @MGMafioso I'm with you. I'll prob be the last person on the planet without one. #mglitchat -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters My day job is flight attendant and I have noticed more kids reading from ipads than holding books on the airplane #mglitchat -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @DanyelleLeafty Except that I've heard (oh so many times) people saying they don't like to read on their computers... #MGlitchat -7:01 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @nardinisisters That's good to know! #MGlitchat -7:02 PM Sep 29th, 2011

elliefalcone Let's start a club. RT @KristineAsselin: @MGMafioso Im with you. Ill prob be the last person on the planet without one. #mglitchat -7:02 PM Sep 29th, 2011

MGMafioso #mglitchat I'm also "on (Tweet)deck this week,. Nice view! -7:02 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty With the Kindle going below $100, as well as one of the Nooks, I think e-readers are going to be a lot more accessible for kids. #mglitchat -7:02 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @MGMafioso Hehe! It's not too hard. I like both. #MGlitchat -7:02 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @PHCMarchesi I'm one of those people, but I did because the story was that awesome. O:) #mglitchat -7:02 PM Sep 29th, 2011

LaurelSnyder I have some classes reading my new book on ereaders, at schools where the school has enough of them to go around. #mglitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @DanyelleLeafty I think that's a nice development, especially for self-published authors. #MGlitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters @KristineAsselin @nardinisisters Yes, happy to discuss marketing sometime. #mglitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @DanyelleLeafty :) #MGlitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

TimothyPower_ I have yet to read an ebook, but I've heard a lot of them have typos etc. that aren't in the paper version. Anyone run into that? #MGlitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @PHCMarchesi Definitely! #mglitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

LaurelSnyder @elliefalcone @KristineAsselin @MGMafioso Me too. I still have a dumb phone. #mglitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

elliefalcone Once the price goes down, we can plan our world domination. #mglitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

AnshaKotyk @librarykelly I think we're discussing any ebook, with or without paper counterparts #MGlitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rachelgrinti Guessing the number of kids with ereaders will increase a lot as the prices drop, but credit cards still a barrier. #MGlitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @TimothyPower_ Depends. I've read some great ones and some not so good ones. #MGlitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty RT @PHCMarchesi: @TimothyPower_ Depends. I've read some great ones and some not so good ones. #MGlitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @rachelgrinti Oh, I didn't think about that! #MGlitchat -7:03 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin @elliefalcone @KristineAsselin @MGMafioso What shall we call the club? #mglitchat -7:04 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters Don't forget you can now borrow ebooks from libraries for a specific amount of time. It is the future. #mglitchat -7:04 PM Sep 29th, 2011

MGMafioso #mglitchat The kids on the other hand... my freshman's class has iPads, given out by the school. But, I've only caught him reading txt bks. -7:04 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rhondasaunders @rachelgrinti for sure when price goes down. Also when they're more readily available in aqua with sparkles. #mglitchat -7:04 PM Sep 29th, 2011

michaelascotto @DanyelleLeafty this is true. My major concern about the move to ebooks is accessibility, esp for lower income families #mglitchat -7:04 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly #MGlitchat I had a couple kids whose parents worked their Kindles into their IEPs. -7:04 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @michaelascotto Yes! That would be a really interesting chat in and of itself. #mglitchat -7:04 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @librarykelly Interesting. #MGlitchat -7:05 PM Sep 29th, 2011

elliefalcone @KristineAsselin People Who Are Aware of Technology but are too Lazy to Partake of it? I don't know. #mglitchat -7:05 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rachelgrinti @PHCMarchesi & you can use gift cards, but still need to be linked w/ an actual credit card. Parents may be uneasy with that. #MGlitchat -7:05 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @michaelascotto Hopefully, as more textbooks become digital, this won't be a problem. #mglitchat -7:05 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @TimothyPower_ I have . #MGlitchat -7:05 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin I guess the credit card barrier isn't necessarily a barrier to music. Why will it be a barrier to books? #mglitchat -7:05 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @AnshaKotyk Thank you! #MGlitchat -7:05 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @PHCMarchesi No. Only Mom and Dad have purchasing power. >:) #mglitchat -7:05 PM Sep 29th, 2011

MGMafioso @KristineAsselin #mglitchat Thinking something along the "slow food" line, but I'm also trying to boil a potato at the same time. -7:06 PM Sep 29th, 2011

elliefalcone Me too. RT @michaelascotto: My major concern about the move to ebooks is accessibility, esp for lower income families #mglitchat -7:06 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin @elliefalcone I just snorted my drink. LOL. #mglitchat -7:06 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @rachelgrinti I see. #MGlitchat -7:06 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rachelgrinti @nardinisisters Yes, but as a librarian I am hoping the actual borrowing becomes less complicated w/ fewer programs needed! #MGlitchat -7:06 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters @KristineAsselin Great point! #mglitchat -7:06 PM Sep 29th, 2011

AnshaKotyk RT @KristineAsselin: I guess the credit card barrier isn't necessarily a barrier to music. Why will it be a barrier to books? #mglitchat -7:06 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty What I'm really excited about is some of the things I've been seeing re: enhanced ebooks. #mglitchat -7:07 PM Sep 29th, 2011

elliefalcone Yes! I made someone spit liquid. RT @KristineAsselin: @elliefalcone I just snorted my drink. LOL. #mglitchat -7:07 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @DanyelleLeafty What are enhanced e-books? #MGlitchat -7:07 PM Sep 29th, 2011

LianaBrooks RT @DanyelleLeafty: With the Kindle going below $100, as well as one of the Nooks, I think e-readers are going to be a lot more accessible for kids. #mglitchat -7:07 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @KristineAsselin Excellent point! #MGlitchat -7:07 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters @rachelgrinti @nardinisisters I could understand your point. #mglitchat -7:07 PM Sep 29th, 2011

elliefalcone Have you seen the commercials for some e-reader looking device aimed at pre-schoolers? #mglitchat -7:08 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @PHCMarchesi Some have video or other interactive qualities to the text. #mglitchat They're more multimedia. -7:08 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @elliefalcone I haven't seen commercials, but I have seen pre-school ereaders at B&N. #mglitchat -7:08 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rhondasaunders @elliefalcone Just starting to see those. #mglitchat -7:08 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @DanyelleLeafty Wow. So more like a movie/book. That's interesting...but doesn't it just mean the attention span gets shorter? #MGlitchat -7:08 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @DanyelleLeafty My first ebook was an enhanced ebook! LOVED it! #MGlitchat -7:09 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rachelgrinti @nardinisisters I think it *is* getting better though. Amazon moving in the right direction with wireless library borrowing. #MGlitchat -7:09 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters I don't think it is so much ereaders as it is ipads for kids. #mglitchat -7:09 PM Sep 29th, 2011

TimothyPower_ Holding an actual book gives me an idea of the literal breadth of the story. An ebook would make me think it might go on forever #MGlitchat -7:09 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @librarykelly I think it depends. As a steady diet, probably. Hopefully not. #mglitchat -7:09 PM Sep 29th, 2011

MGMafioso @PHCMarchesi #MGlitchat Attention span? What attent... hey, something else shiny... -7:09 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @Hahahahah! My point exactly! I mean, will they still want to just read, when they can have interactive options? #MGlitchat -7:10 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @librarykelly Awesome! What's the title? #mglitchat -7:10 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters @TimothyPower_ I thought that too, til I tried it. It is a godsent when on vacation and you don't want to carry alot of books. #mglitchat -7:10 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rhondasaunders I'm a technidiot so my concern is probably unfounded but I don't want my kids loading crappy books... #mglitchat -7:10 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @MGMafioso That last comment was for you! :) #MGlitchat -7:10 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rachelgrinti @TimothyPower_ I've run into kids who prefer ebooks because they aren't as intimidated by the size of the book and page count. #MGlitchat -7:10 PM Sep 29th, 2011

deegarretson My 11-year-old has taken over one of our ereaders. I don't mind her buying books from it because the more she reads, the better. #mglitchat -7:11 PM Sep 29th, 2011

michaelascotto @PHCMarchesi @DanyelleLeafty this may be a factor but there's real potential to expand what we can do as writers/artists #mglitchat -7:11 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @PHCMarchesi *grin* So far, my kids love both. #mglitchat -7:11 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @PHCMarchesi @danyelleleafty #MGlitchat The one I have is about the Kennedy Assin. There are author interviews, videos of the 60's.No excess -7:11 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rhondasaunders as it is now, I can see what they're holding and reading. I don't let computers in the bedroom--what about ereaders? #mglitchat -7:11 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @deegarretson @DanyelleLeatty Awesome! #MGlitchat -7:11 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @rhondasaunders Sampling is a good way to gauge a book. Cover and blurb as well. #mglitchat -7:11 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi RT @DanyelleLeafty: @rhondasaunders Sampling is a good way to gauge a book. Cover and blurb as well. #mglitchat -7:11 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rhondasaunders I don't want it easy for my kids to mistake anything marked MG as something to spend time reading. #mglitchat -7:11 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin @rhondasaunders But they could pick up a crappy book at the library. So is there a difference? #mglitchat -7:12 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @librarykelly That sounds awesome! #mglitchat -7:12 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @DanyelleLeafty Kennedy Detail. It's not a kid's book. I love the Kennedys! #MGlitchat -7:12 PM Sep 29th, 2011

deegarretson @PHCMarchesi I was excited to see her take to it, she actually reads more now, somehow it makes reading more interesting to her #mglitchat -7:12 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi Agree! RT @KristineAsselin: @rhondasaunders But they could pick up a crappy book at the library. So is there a difference? #mglitchat -7:12 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters Yes, I love that you can download sample chapters before you purchase. #mglitchat -7:12 PM Sep 29th, 2011

MGMafioso #mglitchat Has anyone tried to read one in the bathtub? -7:12 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @librarykelly I love that there were interviews included. Adds to content rather than detracting. *makes note* #mglitchat -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

jmaschari Hi all - dropping by for a few minutes - feverishly working on interims :) #mglitchat -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @deegarretson That's how I always felt about ebooks! I prefer them to paperbacks. #mglitchat -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @rachelgrinti @timothypower_ #MGlitchat Good point! Hadn't thought of that. -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rachelgrinti @KristineAsselin @rhondasaunders That's my thought, Kristine. And I think kids should feel free to have their own tastes. #MGlitchat -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rhondasaunders @KristineAsselin @rhondasaunders The library isn't filled with crappy self-pub. That's sort-of what I meant. #mglitchat -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

john_zeleznik What are we talking about tonight? #mglitchat -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @rhondasaunders Whoa...not all self-pubbed is crappy. #mglitchat -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @michaelascotto I love that technology is allowing us to expand. #mglitchat -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @rhondasaunders And libraries are filled with crappy traditionally pubbed. #mglitchat -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rhondasaunders @KristineAsselin @rhondasaunders But yes, you're right. And I sounded snippy about self pub b/c I have few characters.... #mglitchat -7:13 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin @rhondasaunders Understood. But I think the crappy stuff will start to sink to the bottom. #mglitchat -7:14 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rhondasaunders @PHCMarchesi @rhondasaunders I know, I know. I do know. I knew that sounded awful the minute I updated. #mglitchat -7:14 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @john_zeleznik Ebooks for MG--both self-pubbed and trad pubbed. #mglitchat -7:14 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @nardinisisters YES!! #MGlitchat Sample chapters are fantastic! -7:14 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @rhondasaunders :) #mglitchat -7:14 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @MGMafioso Ummm, no. ;) #MGlitchat -7:15 PM Sep 29th, 2011

TimothyPower_ The pages of ebooks won't turn into that horrible discolored shade over time the way paperbacks do! #MGlitchat -7:15 PM Sep 29th, 2011

jmaschari I personally love e-books for kids - I have many students who read on an e-reader - good for differentiation #mglitchat -7:15 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @librarykelly I agree! Especially self-pubbed authors should have sites where parents can sample their work if they want to. #mglitchat -7:15 PM Sep 29th, 2011

jmaschari The text can be enlarged, words defined, text read-aloud (though voice is awful) but it does make reading experience more (1/2) #mglitchat -7:15 PM Sep 29th, 2011

deegarretson @rhondasaunders @KristineAsselin it brings us back to the debate of how much parents should be involved in MG reading/choice #mglitchat -7:16 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @KristineAsselin To add to that, I don't think they ever really take off in the first place. #mglitchat -7:16 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin @rhondasaunders @PHCMarchesi This coming from the secretary of we-haven't-read-an e-book club, take my $.02 with a grain of salt. #mglitchat -7:16 PM Sep 29th, 2011

jmaschari accessible for some students (2/2) #mglitchat -7:16 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @DanyelleLeafty Exactly. Since it was in the 60s, there was a couple of interviews with the author in the 70s. Def. added. #MGlitchat -7:16 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rhondasaunders @KristineAsselin @rhondasaunders @PHCMarchesi And mine! #mglitchat -7:16 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @PHCMarchesi A lot of books have samples available via Amazon or Barnes and Noble. :) #mglitchat -7:17 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @DanyelleLeafty #MGlitchat Very much gave me ideas on how to incorporate certain things for MG! -7:17 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi Is there a gender bias? Does anyone know if boys or girls tend to have more e-readers? #MGlitchat -7:17 PM Sep 29th, 2011

AnshaKotyk I'm wondering if anyone has found metrics for e-books being read by the mg age range? #mglitchat -7:17 PM Sep 29th, 2011

TimothyPower_ The ability to instantly get the definition of a word in ebooks is awesome. #MGlitchat -7:17 PM Sep 29th, 2011

deegarretson @KristineAsselin no, but it's easy to check what's on there #mglitchat -7:19 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @AnshaKotyk Somehow, somewhere, there is probably someone doing a study of this right now. :D #mglitchat -7:19 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @librarykelly Or, if he does, then he's really in trouble... :) #MGlitchat -7:19 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KDuBayGillis I would think that e-readers would give boys more freedom to read "girl books" w/o covers giving them away...same with YA. #mglitchat -7:19 PM Sep 29th, 2011

AnshaKotyk How many authors on here selling both e and paper books? Do you have a large difference in # of purchases? #mglitchat -7:21 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @PHCMarchesi Definitely! #MGlitchat -7:21 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @librarykelly Awesome! *hugs technology* #mglitchat -7:21 PM Sep 29th, 2011

jmaschari I still do have kids browse books in my library (hard copies) and then download on their e-readers. Interaction with (1/2) #mglitchat -7:21 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @AnshaKotyk I sell more ebooks than paperbacks, though I do sell them also. Just less. #mglitchat -7:21 PM Sep 29th, 2011

LynNerdKelley @StephaniePQW There's a MG chat right now. Started at 6:00. I'm late! #MGlitchat -7:22 PM Sep 29th, 2011

jmaschari "traditional" books can still be needed. Question is, how do we bring this experience to the e-reader. #mglitchat -7:22 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KristineAsselin When I was a kid it was pretty easy to hide books. Under the bed worked just fine. Didn't have to worry about parental controls. #mglitchat -7:22 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @LynNerdKelley Hello! Welcome! #mglitchat -7:22 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @AnshaKotyk I sell more ebooks right now. Of course, my book's not technically available yet. O:) #mglitchat -7:22 PM Sep 29th, 2011

deegarretson @AnshaKotyk there's a huge difference, my royalty statement from sept to dec of 2010 only showed a handful of ebook purchases #mglitchat -7:22 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters Yes, we sell way more ebooks over paperbacks. #mglitchat -7:22 PM Sep 29th, 2011

michaelascotto @jmaschari @PHCMarchesi I'd be interested to see if e-books can help to entice reluctant readers #mglitchat -7:22 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @KristineAsselin Same here. Plus with ereaders is they come with their own light. O:) #mglitchat -7:23 PM Sep 29th, 2011

jmaschari @michaelascotto @jmaschari @PHCMarchesi I 100 percent think it can entice reluctant readers. I have seen it in action. #mglitchat -7:23 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rachelgrinti @KristineAsselin Yes, ereaders make it much easier to *control* access. Whereas I read whatever I wanted as a kid. #MGlitchat -7:23 PM Sep 29th, 2011

AnshaKotyk @michaelascotto ereaders enticing reluctant readers is my thought. an ereader is more interactive, or rather can be. #mglitchat -7:23 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @michaelascotto I wonder if the new Kindle tablet will be appealing to middle graders b/c of colors and apps. #mglitchat -7:24 PM Sep 29th, 2011

KDuBayGillis My DH wants me to get an e-reader for the light thing alone. #mglitchat -7:24 PM Sep 29th, 2011

LynNerdKelley @AnshaKotyk Good point. #mglitchat -7:24 PM Sep 29th, 2011

elliefalcone @jmaschari But are they enticed by the device itself or by the book? #mglitchat -7:24 PM Sep 29th, 2011

librarykelly @DanyelleLeafty @kristineasselin YES! I can read outside when it gets dark and I don't have to come in! #MGlitchat -7:24 PM Sep 29th, 2011

LianaBrooks RT @KDuBayGillis: I would think that e-readers would give boys more freedom to read "girl books" w/o covers giving them away...same with YA. #mglitchat -7:24 PM Sep 29th, 2011

rachelgrinti @PHCMarchesi I have seen kids who love their Nook color so my guess is absolutely. #MGlitchat -7:25 PM Sep 29th, 2011

DanyelleLeafty @librarykelly @kristineasselin Ha! Yes! Me too! So much better than the dinky book lights that aren't bright enough for me. #mglitchat -7:25 PM Sep 29th, 2011

jmaschari @elliefalcone I think they are enticed by the device first which then opens the door to the books. The features are helpful, too. #mglitchat -7:25 PM Sep 29th, 2011

PHCMarchesi @LynNerdKelley Even if only enticed by the device, they'll still get lured into reading! :) #mglitchat -7:25 PM Sep 29th, 2011

nardinisisters I think kids are excited by the device, technology and the book itself. It's a winning combination. #mglitchat -7:25 PM Sep 29th, 2011
