In my house，bedtime stories are holy．Rarely does something change the nightly routine，although feverish kids have been known to be tucked in，without story．But last week，my 4-year-old awoke at 1a．m．with this complaint："You forgot to read me my bedtime story．"She was right．So I pulled a book from her shelf'and cuddled her close as she turned the pages．
Reading forges connections between parents and children （even in the middle of the right，it's also good for little brains．

But does the form in which the words appear matter？The New York Times reports that parents---even those who are avid digital downloader's---are avoiding kids'e-books for the real things．It seems that the feel and texture of paper pages along with colorful illustrations beats the static dimensions of a screen．

The article ran in the paper's Monday business section，but it may be more of a cultural tale．More than 25% of some adult literature is sold digitally，but e-books targeted at kids under 8take up less than 5% of total children's book sales．"Reading a childhood classic on an e-reader is such a cold thing to do．，"says Carol Moyer，head of the children's department at Quail Ridge Books．"E-books don't have the warmth and intimacy of the illustration on the page．"

Technology fans believe e-books can compete．On CNET，Rick Broida sings the praises of the iPad，which"can do a lot more than just display static pages．It can read stories aloud； it can enrich a classic tale with'touch-powered extras； and it can even render pages in 3D．"he describes Alice in Wonderland--"Alice for the iPad"--as a classic tale that involves animation like no other e-book to date．Readers can tilt the iPad to make Alice grow，shrink and so on．

Sounds cool，but it seems more like a movie than a book．Watching digital dramatizations of stories isn't reading．When my kindergartener spent tech-lab time following instructions to surf an e-books site，her teacher recognized that she wasn't reading； she was learning to use a computer．
