It'll just take time. And I think it's good that you read print books sometimes too. It'll teach her that you can read anywhere anytime. Good lesson to learn :) My kids finally get that I actually do work on my computer. I do other things too, but now they understand that my work is here. @Jamie, I think if you explain it to her (and keep showing her that you do it) then she’ll get it. It’ll just take time.

I personally prefer to hold a book in my hands, instead of some cold metal or plastic box. I like your parenting approach very much. My parents read books whenever we went on vacation, so it became one of my habbits to pack at least two or three books into my bag when I leave the country, I still do...although now the language switched from German to English ;) My parents never forced us to read but they encouraged us. I remember the first day of me getting a library card...I went to the crime section (I was around seven years old) and picked an Agatha Christie novel! @Jamie, I don’t think it is wrong to read all your books on your mobile.

I do that A LOT as a way of doing business or staying in touch. My phone makes it easy to do. Why not take advantage of technology? Or as I said, tell the world to deal and don't judge you LOL! @Jamie, Eh, so you’re texting. I do that A LOT as a way of doing business or staying in touch. My phone makes it easy to do.

Can't they encode them like MP3s, playable on all? And if I can have ARCs that expire on my computer, shouldn't you be able to do the same thing with books? I think it'll come eventually, but it'll take time. @Jamie, I don’t understand why the format has to be platform-specific. Can’t they encode them like MP3s, playable on all?
