Disney Brings eBooks To Kids Without A Standalone Reader

3:40AM September 30, 2009 | Joanna Stern

This is where I want a bright coloured Kiddie Kindle with a colour E-Ink screen. Disney has launched its Digital Books site. For $US8.95 a month kids can access over 500 ebooks, including Winnie the Pooh and Hannah Montana stories.

The entire reader is browser based and the books feature animated illustrations and authentic character voices. Amazon, a colour Kindle Kiddie would be so cool! In the meantime the Disney Netpal netbook will have to do for viewing the interactive children’s ebooks, but a kid can dream. [Disney Digital Books]

Hi I just wanted to comment on the Disney Digital book site. I went on to subscribe for the year only to be dissapointed because you can only subscribe if you are in the US. I called them and at present they do not accept subscriptions out of the US.
Bummer
sadly dissapointed I really wanted it.
