Very interesting

Sales of children's and YA books have gone up since the introduction of e-readers.

Thoughts? Comments? I'm curious, since the people I've spoken to are all over the place about whether e-readers will lead to the death of the book, contribute to the decline of literacy, or destroy the ability of authors to make a living. Can anyone speak to this? Personally I've found myself reading more, and spending more on books, now than I did a year ago, but YMMV.....

I was going to say this, too. Remember when Hhe first arry Potter was reiessued with a special adult cover in the U.K. so that adults wouldn't be embarrassed reading it on trains?
