Trend: Shift from eReaders to Tablets
Sixty percent of publishing executives believe that
tablets have become the ideal reading platform, and
45 percent believe that dedicated e-readers will soon
be irrelevant ...
Karen Lotz, CEO of Candlewick Press, explained that
they were initially hesitant to enter into [the digital]
market when it was simply taking a beautiful physical
object, scanning it, and then presenting it in a very
inadequate way ... We decided were going to ... wait
until these devices could do justice to these materials.
In a way, our story is just beginning because of tablets.

- 15. eBooks Trend: The Pass Back Effect "Somehow the market has extrapolated that if kids don't own Kindles and Nooks there's no point in selling books to them.

- 19. eReaders vs. Tablets Challenge: eBooks vs. Apps The most exciting developments in children's literature are happening in the area of apps rather than eBooks. There is a huge range of children's apps available for the iPad through the App Store, ranging in price from 99 cents up to $9.99. While some can be static and relatively low tech, there are an increasing number of high quality apps available with an incredible level of interactivity.

One solution is to embrace this trend through childrens programming. Monday, 4 February, 13
