A new study concerning kids and reading in the digital age had some interesting findings about eBooks. "The study found indications that technology could be a positive motivator to get kids reading -- 57 percent of kids (age 9-17) say they are interested in reading an eBook, and a third of children age 9-17 say they would read more books for fun if they had access to eBooks on an electronic device. " If you have a device that is compatible with the New Hampshire Downloadable eBooks, and are willing to share with your kids there are some great titles available. For teens the popular Maximum Ride and Twilight Series are available, as well as titles by Sarah Dessen, Scott Westerfeld, Laurie Halse Anderson, and Walter Dean Myers, to name a few. There are fewer titles for younger kids, but Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is available. Something to think about if your kids need a nudge.
