I am all for paper books, and so are my kids.

Luckily for us, we have enough to last us a very long while in the house. I like buying used books on Abe.com or eBay You can just wait 3 days before opening your package, and the viral particles will have deactivated permanently. I once bought used but good condition copies of a book on eBay that was the theme for DD's 9th birthday, and handed them out as the party favor. I'd rather buy used than a Kindle version, but I've been forced to buy Kindle versions for my teen's English class: he reads it on the computer and it's easier for him to find quotes that way than it is to rifle through paper pages.

For your little one, I suggest used books. Decontaminate and clean, and you're good to go.

I prefer them too, as do my kids, but for us it comes down to volume. When school isn't in session (summer etc) my daughter easily goes through a chapter book a day. (I'm not bragging, it's actually kidn of antisocial behavior.) be that as it may, when the library is open, we can handle that through weekly visits. Right now, as much as I hate Amazon, the kindle is a godsend. If your kids don't read as manically and you have money to keep buying, used books seem like a great solution. [/quote]
