I have recently read the above article about books and reading. It seems to be that e-Books are very popular and taking over good paperback/hardback book!
....in my case if I CAN'T FEEL THE PAGES, SMEEL THE INK, HEAR THE NOISE OF MOVING PAPER THE NARRATIVE AND VISUALISATION OF THE STORY WILL NOT WORK. IT IS PERMANENT AND WON'T BE DELETED.
e-Book??.... unreachable and behind the screen piece of writing...and not for my enjoyment.
Reading should be a pleasure to engage with, not a fast track and gadget time....
...but many will feel differently.
When it comes to books for children I don't think that reading a book with on an iPad or iPhone will be ever pleasurable...perhaps for the adult only.

Children time ---- Reading time-----PAPER BOOKS ----- Engagement/Development ----- FUN
To appreciate a book's narrative, its author, illustrator and all hard work that was needed to create it means to actually choose to read it on a paper. Visual senses develop as well as motor skills when children touch, move the pages and move the book around. And what can you do with a screen?? you move it - it moves with you, you drop it - it might break, explore it and bang! the story is erased!
