My 9 year old son loves to read. He really wants a Kindle. This is really great and I’m so glad he loves to read. He even wants to write his own books. However, when it comes to finding ebooks for kids there don’t seem to be a big variety out there. Am I just looking in the wrong places? I’ve checked Amazon and Barnes & Noble. B&N seems to have more options but still not enough to warrant buying an ereader that he will run out of books he likes to read. Especially since he’s still trying to discover exactly what kind of books he likes.
So are there any good ebook sites that have lots of kids books to choose from? It’s sort of like shopping for clothes for a boy. Lots of girl stuff to be found but not a lot in the way of boy stuff. 😦
Help!

I wish I knew too. I need something to spark my kidling’s interest in reading again, since we’re done with the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. I’d consider getting a Kindle for a Christmas gift this year if there were enough story choices for kids. By the way, a belated thank you for the nice review on The Gardener!
Yes, mine is reading the Diary series too. Wish they were ebooks but they are not. I figure it doesn’t have to be a Kindle. Could be any of the ereaders if I can just find somewhere with lots to choose from. Sigh…. As of right now I just have the Kindle for PC on my old netbook since it’s small so he can read on it and take it with him.
You’re welcome for the review. I really enjoyed it. I downloaded the sample for Eaters so that when I finish the current book I’m reading I can read that one. Lauralynn Elliott said it was really, really good!
There seems to be a lot of YA books out there, but not many for younger readers. And little man isn’t ready for some of the YA’s, especially the ones I’ve read. LOL. I wonder if there’s a site dedicated just to younger readers? Have you looked on Smashwords? Their books can be downloaded in just about any format used by Ereaders.
There are quite a few middle grade books for boys on Amazon. I’ve read a few of them quite recently and reviewed them. The Limit by Kristen Landon is a great book for boys or girls, as is Tomorrow’s Guardian by Richard Denning. Both are available on Kindle from Amazon. I could probably give you quite a few more ideas if you want some …
Thanks so much! I’ll have to check those out and check out your reviews. Always looking for more books to keep my son interested in reading.
