[LM_NET] E-books and digital products for kids

[Josephine Dervan <dervan@OPTONLINE.NET>]

The Digital Revolution in Children's Publishing 

Although children's book publishers are pretty confident in the long-term survival 
of printed books for children—"Children are still going to have a bookshelf," says 
Susan Katz, president and publisher of HarperCollins Children's Books—they are far 
from ignoring the elephant in the room. Katz admits: "They'll have shelves with 
many other things, too." 

On those shelves no doubt will be plenty of electronic gadgetry, and children's 
publishers are working to determine what defines a book, which devices to embrace, 
how to handle digital rights (and who has them), and how they can make money with 
e-products.
