My son loves it! He’s a big reader an has been blowing through chapters books this year so this was a big hit. It’s the last thing he puts down and the first thing he wants in the morning. Would highly recommend for young readers.
I had previously downloaded books and they showed up in her account, but haven’t purchased anything new since reading on this device. The free content has been more that enough for my daughter so far.
