2:37 am PaulWHankins: @YolaRamunno Than we make it free access. Show different trailers on the 16 screens. Give our people back their literacy! #kidlitchat
2:37 am cjomololu: @PaulWHankins I heard they did a Hush Hush trailer before Moon. #kidlitchat
2:37 am skodobah: RT @KatGirl_Studio: when your book gets wet youre only out $20 when your e-book reader gets wet your out hundreds of $ #kidlitchat
2:37 am literaticat: @TheAsianAngel Ugh. I would never do that. Electronic ARCS are from hell, as far as I am concerned. (I know I’m in the minority) #kidlitchat
2:37 am davidhburton: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1232672/Nintendo-DS-launches-eReader-children.html #kidlitchat
2:37 am PaulWHankins: RT @cjomololu: @PaulWHankins I heard they did a Hush Hush trailer before Moon. #kidlitchat
2:37 am bonnieadamson: @SarahAiglen Oh, bless you. #kidlitchat
2:37 am SarahAiglen: But I will get an e-reader eventually – and just keep my most treasured books. (Too many books!) #kidlitchat
2:37 am tristanbancks: @RebeccAgent Re: book reviews in newspapers, I wonder if the papers will hold as much sway in that regard in future. #kidlitchat
2:37 am TracyClark_TLC: @emilytastic That’s interesting. Can you explain more? #kidlitchat
2:37 am dawnbonnevie: @YolaRamunno #kidlitchat Yeah, I know, $$, but shouldn’t some reading initiative have used grants or something for that by now?
2:37 am sandyalonzo: At least the pb’s are best in the primary classroom as traditional books, being read by their hopefully ‘live’ teacher. #kidlitchat
2:37 am cjomololu: @PaulWHankins And this would just serve to separate those books with big marketing $$ behind them, and midlisters with none. #Kidlitchat
2:37 am EgmontUSA: Mattell just revealed their answer to the iPad at the Toy Fair. This is all on the horizon. #kidlitchat
2:37 am amithaknight: RT @davidhburton: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1232672/Nintendo-DS-launches-eReader-children.html #kidlitchat
2:37 am Buffyandrews: @skodobah As an industry, we are redefining ourselves as well, reaching our readers via multiple platforms. tough to be editor. #kidlitchat
2:38 am MissusM: @SolomonInkwell What keeps someone from passing around a hard copy book? #kidlitchat
2:38 am emilytastic: @TheAsianAngel @literaticat It’s harder to share these ARCs. Sadness! Half the fun of ARCs is the secret club. #kidlitchat
2:38 am chantalkirkland: @PaulWHankins That’s kinda cool, but they didn’t show it in my theater. #kidlitchat
2:38 am PaulWHankins: What if AOL or Yahoo promoted trailers each week? One channel dedicated to new reads for their subscribers. . .#kidlitchat
2:38 am leewind: @skodobah Yes, disincentive to bring your e-reader into the bathtub! #kidlitchat
2:38 am dawnmetcalf: @dorothiar @Buffyandrews Yet I think there is always a pendulum swing to nostalgia/vintage, too. Returning to beloved old reads. #kidlitchat
2:38 am TheAsianAngel: Oh, they already exist? RT @literaticat Electronic ARCS are from hell, as far as I am concerned. (I know I’m in the minority) #kidlitchat
2:38 am DHeiligman: RT @RebeccAgent: Don’t know if anyone said it yet but I hope book reviews will be viewed as important to newspaper corps #kidlitchat
2:38 am DeeScribe: @tristanbancks Newspapers will probably become digital too:-) #kidlitchat
2:38 am PaulWHankins: Remember the Book Ladies of Kentucky. They took books to where people were. Not to woo them away, but to bring stories to them. #kidlitchat
2:38 am LaFabuliste: You’d still have to have someone to create the trailers. And making a good book trailer seems about as easy as lassoing the moon #kidlitchat
2:39 am cjomololu: @MissusM Passing around is different from cloning. #kidlitchat
2:39 am amithaknight: @leewind @skodobah can’t read a newspaper in the tub either… :) #kidlitchat
2:39 am skodobah: @leewind High-voltage reading! #kidlitchat
2:39 am chantalkirkland: @leewind Wrap the ‘reader in a plasitc bag and you’re in the clear! #kidlitchat
2:39 am SolomonInkwell: @MissusM – Ah, true, true, but it is being able to distrubute to hundreds of users at once that makes me nervous though. #kidlitchat
2:39 am Buffyandrews: @DeeScribe Already are. #kidlitchat
2:39 am jamesburksart: #kidlitchat my biggest hope is that there will always be books with that new book smell.
2:39 am dawnmetcalf: @emilytastic Totally agree. Me too. #kidlitchat
2:39 am sandyalonzo: Like it! RT @PaulWHankins: What if AOL or Yahoo promoted trailers each week? #kidlitchat
2:39 am jessicaleeander: @literaticat I’ve heard many similar comments about electronic ARCS #kidlitchat
2:39 am skodobah: @DeeScribe I read the online paper, but prefer the printed version. #kidlitchat
2:39 am emilytastic: @TracyClark_TLC Basically, I could give a flying flip if a group dislikes my swearing/sex content/violence. (1 of 2) #kidlitchat
2:39 am Salys: RT @RebeccAgent: I hope publishers will soon be able to hire more so editors aren’t overworked #kidlitchat
2:39 am leewind: @PaulWHankins the prob with a channel of trailers is who would watch just commercials? You’d need programming, too. #kidlitchat
2:39 am yachicka: waiting for the waterproof e-reader before I splurge! #kidlitchat
2:39 am davidhburton: There are also items like the R4 card for DS which can read text files. #kidlitchat
2:39 am 2KoP: @SarahAiglen Yes! Typefaces that are beautiful on paper don’t necessarily work on the screen. Books involved many arts. #kidlitchat
2:39 am jamesburksart: #kidlitchat my biggest fear is that publishers will focus too much on the bottom line and not take chances on something different.
2:39 am KatGirl_Studio: @DeeScribe but will they be the cool digital translucent paper ones we see in SiFi movies? #kidlitchat
2:39 am Martychan13: @mgbuehrlen Do you think we share a love of books or stories? If ebooks get a reluctant reader hooked, why resist it? #kidlitchat
2:39 am dawnmetcalf: @cjomololu Thank you! #kidlitchat
2:40 am LaFabuliste: @Salys And to start training the next generation of editors! Amen! #kidlitchat
2:40 am tiffanyaneal: @jamesburksart I heart new book smell #kidlitchat
2:40 am jessicaleeander: @jamesburksart Mmm…new book smell! I’m a fan of dusty old book smell too #kidlitchat
2:40 am literaticat: @emilytastic Then why did you censor your own tweet? :-) #kidlitchat
2:40 am TheAsianAngel: YOU know about them too? I’m so unhip. RT @jessicaleeander: @literaticat I’ve heard many similar comments about electronic ARCS #kidlitchat
2:40 am robynschneider: @LaFabuliste I just filmed a live action book trailer for my upcoming release and you’re right, it took months in pre-production #kidlitchat
2:40 am chantalkirkland: @tiffanyaneal Get me a ‘reader with that smell, and I’ll buy one! LOL! #kidlitchat
2:40 am leewind: @LaFabuliste Yeah, many book trailers aren’t compelling television. #kidlitchat
2:40 am emilytastic: @TracyClark_TLC If my bks are inadvertently disrespectful or insensitive to a certain group/situation/illness, different story. #kidlitchat
2:40 am 2KoP: RT @jamesburksart: #kidlitchat my biggest hope is that there will always be books with that new book smell. #kidlitchat
2:40 am emilytastic: @literaticat Because flying flip sounds hilarious. #kidlitchat
2:40 am literaticat: @TheAsianAngel Oh yes, they exist. I don’t read them, but they are out there. #kidlitchat
2:40 am eliohouse: @amithaknight @leewind @skodobah If we get rid of newspapers, what will my parakeet read (…and poop on?) #kidlitchat
2:41 am Martychan13: @leewind I like that notion. Maybe random titles may come up that have no connection to the book. Chaos theory at work. #kidlitchat
2:41 am shikokusue: @2KoP When reading Junie B. to son in Japan, I corrected the grammar.#kidlitchat
2:41 am patricemichelle: @yachicka That’s what gallon ziploc bags are far. Can’t turn a print book page inside a plastic bag, but it protects the ereader.#kidlitchat
2:41 am davidhburton: Speaking of ebooks, must now go see to the release of mine tomorrow. ‘Night all! #kidlitchat
2:41 am David_JWest: RT @ElanaJ There’s something aesthetically pleasing about holding a book and reading it. It’s human nature. It won’t disappear. #kidlitchat
2:41 am TracyClark_TLC: @chantalkirkland Scratch n sniff? #kidlitchat
2:41 am tristanbancks: @gregpincus @DeeScribe Agreed. However the novel evolves Story still king. Or queen. I think the future looks fun. #kidlitchat
2:41 am Buffyandrews: Can I be honest and say that my personal fear is that I fail? But I will not let the fear of failure stop me. Don’t any of you! #kidlitchat
2:41 am HeidiRKling: @literaticat If someone offered me an electronic ARC I wouldn’t read it. I’m on the computer too much as is. Just wait for book. #kidlitchat
2:41 am JessicaLeader: @RebeccAgent Def wd like to see the return of informed book reviewers to newspaper staff pages…in all art forms, too! #kidlitchat
2:41 am DeeScribe: RT @yachicka: waiting for the waterproof e-reader before I splurge! Guess reading your book in the bath isn’t the same:-) #kidlitchat
2:41 am keelyinkster: @DeeScribe I only read news digitally now, but I read more news more often, maybe that will happen to books too? #kidlitchat
2:41 am SolomonInkwell: Have they merged E-Book/Audio Book yet to have something that reads to you while you read along with an E-Reader? COOL! I want 1 #kidlitchat
2:41 am amithaknight: @deescribe http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/reader/ #kidlitchat
2:41 am skodobah: @emilytastic I prefer Flying Rat’s Ass myself. LOL! #kidlitchat
2:41 am skodobah: RT @eliohouse: @amithaknight @leewind @skodobah If we get rid of newspapers, what will my parakeet read (…and poop on?) #kidlitchat
2:41 am tappedinorg: RT @SarahAiglen: I read a book on a friend’s Kindle. Missed the *art* of a constructed book – choice of paper, typography, design, everything. #kidlitchat
2:41 am PaulWHankins: @leewind Oh, I was referring to different places to click on AOL or other subscription services, not television. I would watch. #kidlitchat.
2:42 am emilytastic: @skodobah Too many characters! :P But I do love colorful language. #kidlitchat
2:42 am keelyinkster: @eliohouse No worries there’ll always be junk mail! #kidlitchat
2:42 am MissusM: I think e-news is more up-to-date, but the same does not apply to books. #kidlitchat
2:42 am MaryBDanielson: Little late on the topic, but must say my 13 y/o sister is glued to her Kindle at all times. Now all of her friends want one… #kidlitchat
2:42 am SolomonInkwell: @chantalkirkland – Thank you very much for that. I appreciate it! :-) I will keep you posted… #kidlitchat
2:42 am KatGirl_Studio: @skodobah in partial to frakk myself #kidlitchat
2:42 am SarahAiglen: RT @2KoP RT @jamesburksart: my biggest hope is that there will always be books with that new book smell. #kidlitchat ~Yes!
2:42 am DeeScribe: @keelyinkster Me too, mostly read news digitally – easier on the train for example. #kidlitchat
2:42 am kayeleenhamblin: @Buffyandrews I think that is a common fear. I share it. #kidlitchat
2:42 am Buffyandrews: Even when I edit my writer’s stories, sometimes I print them out and do so on hard copy. I see it differently or something. #kidlitchat
2:42 am ElanaJ: @Buffyandrews Me too! But from my favorite movie: “Never give up! Never surrender!” #kidlitchat
2:42 am TheAsianAngel: @HeidiRKling Even if it was a super sekrit copy of Mockingjay? Hmmmm? #kidlitchat
2:42 am bonnieadamson: @SolomonInkwell I would klike Radio Reader piped into my head as I drift off to sleep at night. #kidlitchat
2:42 am skodobah: @KatGirl_Studio I like that one! #kidlitchat
2:42 am TracyClark_TLC: @emilytastic I agree with you totally! I think it’s a balance not to censor ourselves but to also remain sensitive. #kidlitchat
2:42 am hipwritermama: I read faster than my Kindle loads pages. Easier to read from iPhone. But, there’s nothing better than reading a hardcover book. #kidlitchat
2:43 am bonnieadamson: @KatGirl_Studio Ah, another BSG fan, I see! #kidlitchat
2:43 am DeeScribe: An author I know pays people to read his books on the train – won’t work with e-books – nobody can see the cover:-) #kidlitchat
2:43 am KatGirl_Studio: @ElanaJ That movie rocks! #kidlitchat
2:43 am LaFabuliste: Paper is also spatial. I remember something in the top lefthand corner of a page, but it’s not the same on boss’ kindle. #kidlitchat
2:43 am dawnmetcalf: @Martychan13 @mgbuehrlen @ElanaJ I agree more readers=good thing! (Authors getting paid fair % for their work is great, too.) #kidlitchat
2:43 am kayeleenhamblin: time to put kids to bed. Maybe I’ll be back. Thanks! #kidlitchat
2:43 am amithaknight: me too! RT @bonnieadamson: @KatGirl_Studio Ah, another BSG fan, I see! #kidlitchat
2:43 am skodobah: Must eat! Good night, my friends! #kidlitchat
2:43 am chantalkirkland: I really have to get back to work-this has been great, guys and gals! #kidlitchat
2:43 am KatGirl_Studio: @bonnieadamson naturally =^.^= #kidlitchat
2:43 am tristanbancks: @chantalkirkland @tiffanyaneal @jamesburksart @David_JWest E-readers with comforting old-book-stink are the next big thing. #kidlitchat
2:43 am HeidiRKling: @DeeScribe Really? For publicity? #kidlitchat That’s hilarious.
2:43 am literaticat: @HeidiRKling And there are enough ARCS and books. I don’t need to read that one, whatever it is. #kidlitchat
2:43 am 2KoP: @shikokusue I do that with Junie B. too. Used sparingly, OK, but constantly it’s offensive. #kidlitchat
2:43 am gregpincus: @ElanaJ So, if it’s human nature, what did people do BEFORE the book. I think it’s learned, not innate. #kidlitchat
2:44 am SolomonInkwell: Poeple thought audio books were silly at first, too. But I LOVE THEM!! #kidlitchat
2:44 am bonnieadamson: @LaFabuliste Spatial–that’s really interesting . . . and true. #kidlitchat
2:44 am emilytastic: @TracyClark_TLC Exactly. And to remain true to our characters who may or may not understand certain things about the world. #kidlitchat
2:44 am Buffyandrews: @hipwritermama Agree. Hard books best:) #kidlitchat
2:44 am RebeccAgent: hope there will be another book like HP that creates a generation of readers who grow up w/characters & read along with parents #kidlitchat
2:44 am VeraFBirkenbihl: RT @Arithmaroo: RT @gregpincus: TOPIC: What are your biggest hopes and biggest fears for the future of publishing and children’s books? #kidlitchat
2:44 am leewind: RT @DeeScribe: Author I know pays people to read his books on the train wont work with e-books nobody can see the cover:-) LOL! #kidlitchat
2:44 am KatGirl_Studio: @DeeScribe are you serious? #kidlitchat
2:44 am amithaknight: @LaFabuliste page numbers ARE annoying on the kindle. #kidlitchat
2:44 am davidhburton: RT @RebeccAgent: hope there will be another book like HP that creates a generation of readers who grow up w/characters & read along with parents #kidlitchat
2:44 am bonnieadamson: @KatGirl_Studio Are you catching Caprica? I have all recorded, haven’t started yet. #kidlitchat
2:44 am Laurawriting: Bought a Kindle for my 23yo daughter for Xmas. She loves it, esp. since she’s on a 6 mo road trip across US = no room for books #kidlitchat
2:44 am Buffyandrews: @skodobah Nite. #kidlitchat
2:44 am dawnmetcalf: @KatGirl_Studio @DeeScribe Ooh, yes! Where’s my flying car with robo-maid and transparent e-reader? #kidlitchat
2:44 am LaFabuliste: @RebeccAgent HP did so much to legitimize kidlit in the eyes of non-Mommys and Daddys. Love it. #kidlitchat
2:44 am HeidiRKling: @TheAsianAngel *snap* You got me there. ALMOST. ;) Honestly, I’d wait for the HC. As a writer, I think of e-docs as drafts… #kidlitchat
2:44 am bonnieadamson: @amithaknight I love that series. #kidlitchat
2:45 am amithaknight: am I the only one with allergies who doesn’t like dusty books? #kidlitchat
2:45 am literaticat: ARC is basically advertisement. Don’t make me WORK for an ad, I won’t do it. (PS: Yes, I know they are $$ to produce. I know.) #kidlitchat
2:45 am patricemichelle: @DeeScribe Very good point about print books on trains/planes, etc vs ebooks. People DO look to see what others are reading. #kidlitchat
2:45 am Laurawriting: RT @RebeccAgent: hope there will be another book like HP that creates a generation of readers who grow up w/characters & read along with parents #kidlitchat
2:45 am justwonderinY: RT @PaulWHankins: This would be a most powerful intervention: the great book trailers being produced shown on movie screens before the feature: #kidlitchat
2:45 am 2KoP: @SolomonInkwell I also love audio books, but audio picture books definitely lose something in the translation. #kidlitchat
2:45 am DeeScribe: RT @KatGirl_Studio: @DeeScribe are you serious?Absolutely. It’s not me; I can’t afford it, lol. Good marketing tool I guess:-) #kidlitchat
2:45 am Laurawriting: RT @leewind: RT @DeeScribe: Author I know pays people to read his books on the train wont work with e-books nobody can see the cover:-) LOL! #kidlitchat
2:45 am amyknichols: @leewind This is one of my peeves w/ebooks. Reading a device is less social than reading an actual book. Book = inviting. #kidlitchat
2:45 am PaulWHankins: Biggest Hope: to create awareness: YA titles can be connected to canon to create bridges, or as Lesesne calls them: “ladders.” #kidlitchat
2:45 am emilytastic: @amithaknight I have horrible allergies but would never give up my dusty books! #kidlitchat
2:45 am jessicaleeander: @TheAsianAngel lol! I didn’t know about e-ARCS until SCBWI LA last summer #kidlitchat
2:46 am jeanie_w: Nope. I have that problem too. RT @amithaknight: am I the only one with allergies who doesn’t like dusty books? #kidlitchat
2:46 am dawnmetcalf: @amithaknight No, Me, too. The one thing I’d appreciate about an ebook would be that my eyes would tear up and itch at night! #kidlitchat
2:46 am eliohouse: I’m sure it’s a matter of time before Kindles talk to each other. “What are others pretending to read around you?” #kidlitchat
2:46 am Buffyandrews: I’ll leave you with this quote: ?Victory belongs to the most persevering.? — Napoleon Bonaparte….Nite #kidlitchat
2:46 am LaFabuliste: @patricemichelle How else would I know how to make snap judgements about cute boys on the train? #kidlitchat
2:46 am TracyClark_TLC: Biggest advantage to e-reader: nobody knows if I’m reading a naughty book. But I digress.. #kidlitchat
2:46 am bonnieadamson: @Laurawriting @RebeccAgebt The books are there now! Read anything with your child & it becomes a family event. #kidlitchat
2:46 am 2KoP: RT @patricemichelle @DeeScribe good point about print books on trains/planes vs ebooks. People look at what others are reading. #kidlitchat
2:46 am Martychan13: My hope is video techn will allow authors/illustrators to visit more schools and inspire love of books (electronic or printed) #kidlitchat
2:46 am SolomonInkwell: LOL This rocks…RT @emilytastic: @amithaknight I have horrible allergies but would never give up my dusty books! #kidlitchat
2:46 am amithaknight: @dawnmetcalf @emilytastic of course if you keep re-reading the books they don’t get so dusty :) #kidlitchat
2:46 am jessicaleeander: LOL! RT @TracyClark_TLC: Biggest advantage to e-reader: nobody knows if Im reading a naughty book. But I digress.. #kidlitchat
2:47 am SolomonInkwell: @TracyClark_TLC – OH NO…not the naughty books! #kidlitchat
2:47 am 2KoP: LOL RT @LaFabuliste @patricemichelle How else would I know how to make snap judgements about cute boys on the train? #kidlitchat
2:47 am sandyalonzo: Unless they peek over your shoulderRT @TracyClark_TLC: Biggest advantage to e-reader: nobody knows if Im reading a naughty book. #kidlitchat
2:47 am patricemichelle: print book = people ask questions about book. eReader= people ask quesitons about the eReader. True fact! #kidlitchat
2:47 am KatApel: @bonnieadamson Good point. Thinking that sharing a story would be tricky when you’re cramming around a screen. Lighting, etc… #kidlitchat
2:47 am SarahAiglen: Have an early morning tomorrow so signing off. Terrif chat. Thank you, @gregpincus and all facilitating! #kidlitchat
2:47 am johannaharness: While reading & lost in the story, I don’t care if words are on paper or screen or audio book. I like paper for remembering. #kidlitchat
2:47 am KatGirl_Studio: @BonnieAdamson ya i have comcast so I can watch it on direct demand #kidlitchat
2:47 am TheAsianAngel: @jessicaleeander Hmm. Must have been one of the times I was comparing the size of my head to other people’s and not listening. #kidlitchat
2:48 am DeeScribe: @KatApel Hi Kat – sharing an e-screen definitely tricky:-) #kidlitchat
2:48 am tristanbancks: I think our nostalgic love of paper books is a bit like the people who thought CDs would never trump vinyl. #kidlitchat
2:48 am KatGirl_Studio: @KatGirl_Studio they have cool digital paper in Caprica #kidlitchat
2:48 am LaFabuliste: I find it’s easier to absorb from paper. When reading slush, especially. MS get fuzzy when on eReader. Too slick. #kidlitchat
2:48 am patricemichelle: @2KoP LOL RT @LaFabuliste @patricemichelle How else would I know how to make snap judgements about cute boys on the train? 2 tru #kidlitchat
2:49 am TracyClark_TLC: Fear: That there are no more editors in kidlit like Ursula Nordstrom who would nuture her artist’s careers for life. #kidlitchat
2:49 am bonnieadamson: You don’t have to wait for another HP–we read Eliz. Peters on car trips–girls loved it, still talk about “Amelia & Emerson.” #kidlitchat
2:49 am JessicaLeader: @HeidiRKling Do you think your kids would enjoy reading books on a blackberry or similar? #kidlitchat
2:49 am emilytastic: @tristanbancks Exactly. And there are still people, young and old, who prefer vinyl. There will always be paper book lovers. #kidlitchat
2:49 am SolomonInkwell: The future will continue to evolve the format of reading. It excites me. My hope is that publishers and authors stay protected. #kidlitchat
2:49 am mattdelman: RT @ElanaJ: There’s something aesthetically pleasing about holding a book and reading it. It’s human nature. It won’t disappear. #kidlitchat
2:49 am gregpincus: RT @tristanbancks: I think our nostalgic love of paper books is a bit like the people who thought CDs would never trump vinyl. #kidlitchat
2:49 am KatApel: Coming in late, so this may have already been covered, but how low do e-readers go? How does it impact on the pb market? #kidlitchat
2:49 am KatBaldwin: @TracyClark_TLC I hope (non writer) adults continue to read YA for their own pleasure. #kidlitchat ME,too!! Puts the fun back in reading.
2:49 am keelyinkster: @Martychan13 Kids hug books to themselves when they come out of the school book club ebooks are not loved the same way (yet!) #kidlitchat
2:49 am 2KoP: RT @Laurawriting @RebeccAgent hope there will be other books like HP that create a generation of readers #kidlitchat
2:49 am dawnmetcalf: @amithaknight @emilytastic I’ve been re-reading some books for 20 years! They are well-loved & dusty. #kidlitchat
2:50 am dorothiar: RT @amithaknight: Perhaps. Musky books transport me back to my childhood. Glad no allergies. #kidlitchat
2:50 am bonnieadamson: @KatGirl_Studio Among other things! I keep thinking they’ll have to upgrade StarTrek yet again w/new tech. #kidlitchat
2:50 am dawnmetcalf: RT @tristanbancks: I think our nostalgic love of paper books is a bit like the people who thought CDs would never trump vinyl. #kidlitchat
2:50 am gregpincus: Agreed that at the moment kids are not “connected” with ebooks the same way they are with paper books. But… #kidlitchat
2:50 am keelyinkster: @gregpincus but vinyl never really died, I say staring at my huge vinyl collection and record deck ;-) #kidlitchat
2:50 am bonnieadamson: @TracyClark_TLC Oh! I’m reading DEAR GENIUS now–had the very same thought. Who’s filling her shoes? #kidlitchat
2:51 am sandyalonzo: Are kindergarteners going to watch a giant e-screen for their read-aloud pb’s in the future? There has to be a limit. #kidlitchat
2:51 am LaFabuliste: Have never listened to vinyl (I’m 24). But stored music seems designed for changing technology. 1/2 #kidlitchat
2:51 am 2KoP: Please don’t let books go the way of vinyl. RT @emilytastic: @tristanbancksThere are still people who prefer vinyl. #kidlitchat
2:51 am TracyClark_TLC: @JessicaLeader I read Hush Hush and Freeze Frame on my iPhone. So I bet kids would have no problem with that. #kidlitchat
2:51 am Laurawriting: @BonnieAdamson Ah..alas, mine are grown..and gone, fond memories 4 HP days and the fact my kids grew up in real time w @ book. #kidlitchat
2:51 am gregpincus: Imagine if with an e-book, you could suddenly be in a book club with anyone, anywhere reading that same ebook? #kidlitchat
2:51 am shikokusue: I don’t care what kids read on as long as they read.#kidlitchat
2:51 am peg366: I have child with Aspergers who reads. Ereader might not last long when he’s frustrated. Hope paper books stay around. #kidlitchat
2:51 am dawnmetcalf: @Martychan13 Skype An Author Network *rocks*! #kidlitchat
2:51 am SolomonInkwell: Well…all of you talented (not to mention attractive) people…I bid you good evening. Thank you for the lovely chat as always! #kidlitchat
2:51 am emilyreads: @gregpincus My son can spend HOURS playing with HMCo’s Curious George iPhone app. And I didn’t even spring for the full version. #kidlitchat
2:51 am PaulWHankins: If e-books and docking stations make it possible for me to continue to have shared literary experiences, than I would embrace: #kidlitchat
2:52 am LaFabuliste: But books are so old. Can’t think of anythng changing that experience. But I don’t know the diff betwn iPod and vinyl. #kidlitchat
2:52 am dawnmetcalf: @gregpincus International reading clubs can happen now. #kidlitchat
2:52 am davidhburton: RT @gregpincus: Imagine if with an e-book, you could suddenly be in a book club with anyone, anywhere reading that same ebook? #kidlitchat
2:52 am littlefluffycat: @BonnieAdamson Those books are amazing, aren’t they? #kidlitchat
2:52 am amyknichols: @gregpincus That’s a cool and tempting idea. #kidlitchat
2:52 am bonnieadamson: @keelyinkster Heard kids are rediscovering “novelty” of listening to music (records) in a group. :-D #kidlitchat
2:52 am davidhburton: RT @dawnmetcalf: RT @tristanbancks: I think our nostalgic love of paper books is a bit like the people who thought CDs would never trump vinyl. #kidlitchat
2:52 am yachicka: @bonnieadamson I loved that book! So inspiring #kidlitchat
2:52 am 2KoP: RT @bonnieadamson: @TracyClark_TLC Love! DEAR GENIUS. Who’s filling her shoes? No one today. #kidlitchat
2:52 am TracyClark_TLC: @bonnieadamson I loved Dear Genius! I keep “that” quote on my desk. If you haven’t gotten to it yet, prepare to be moved! :-) #kidlitchat
2:52 am davidhburton: ugh, i can’t stay away from #kidlitchat
2:52 am Martychan13: @keelyinkster True. I’ll be interested to see how kids connect to ebooks once this format evolves. #kidlitchat
2:53 am thereadingzone: Middle school too! @PaulWHankins good story + good read aloud r powerful,essential ingred. in early love of reading.Harness this #kidlitchat
2:53 am crcook: must stop reading #kidlitchat posts. Must write. Must remember the transcript will come soon enough…
2:53 am KatApel: @sandyalonzo My question too. I guess I’ve never thought abut it in terms of PBs. Dumb? Thought more in terms of words, not pics #kidlitchat
2:53 am emilytastic: @bonnieadamson I have two 20ish friends with record players who collect vinyl. I’m jealous of them. #kidlitchat
2:53 am mgbuehrlen: @Martychan13 I think we share the love of both. Everyone’s going to have their fave format and will pass that on, though. #kidlitchat
2:53 am bonnieadamson: @littlefluffycat Daughter to prof: “Was raised on EP, Hitchhikker’s Guide & LOTR” Prof: That explains a lot” :-D #kidlitchat
2:53 am DHeiligman: @gregpincus I think kids would love that. Teens especially. #kidlitchat
2:53 am PaulWHankins: E-books good. Live authors even better. We’ll be hosting @jessicaleader on Tuesday for Read Across America Day! Thanks, Jessica! #kidlitchat
2:54 am Laurawriting: @LaFabuliste So, if no vinyl then do you only download the songs that you like? I like the stories albums tell. #kidlitchat
2:54 am gregpincus: @dawnmetcalf Yes, but the ease with connection makes it a no brainer… for anyone interested. #kidlitchat
2:54 am bonnieadamson: @TracyClark_TLC I’ll be watching out! #kidlitchat
2:54 am dawnmetcalf: RT @patricemichelle print book = people ask questions about book. eReader= people ask quesitons about the eReader. True fact! #kidlitchat
2:54 am shikokusue: In Japan, cellphone novels are hot…later published in print!#kidlitchat
2:54 am KatGirl_Studio: The first time i saw a working record player i was 21 and it was at a club #kidlitchat
2:54 am YolaRamunno: I am signing off for tonight. I have to take advantage of writing time. #kidlitchat
2:55 am bonnieadamson: @emilytastic Thank goodness I never got rid of my vinyl. :-) #kidlitchat
2:55 am LaFabuliste: @Laurawriting I hear that’s changed the exper. As teen, bought NSYNC for what I heard on the radio. Other songs were just extra. #kidlitchat
2:55 am TracyClark_TLC: A positive note to the tech age: Author visits via Skype! More access is a great thing. #kidlitchat
2:55 am emilytastic: @shikokusue I have heard of this! I find it both fascinating and overwhelming. #kidlitchat
2:55 am keelyinkster: @emilytastic well it does sound better –just as paper books feel better, but ebooks and mp3s are so portable, I do both #kidlitchat
2:55 am Laurawriting: RT @dawnmetcalf: RT @patricemichelle print book = people ask questions about book. eReader= people ask quesitons about the eReader. True fact! #kidlitchat

2:55 am bonnieadamson: @KatGirl_Studio Oh, I feel so old. #kidlitchat
2:55 am tristanbancks: I like this: RT @gregpincus Imagine, with an e-book, you could be in a book club with anyone, anywhere reading that same ebook? #kidlitchat
2:55 am emilytastic: @bonnieadamson I wish my parents hadn’t. I was a 1982 baby so I came along around the same time as the MAGICAL COMPACT DISC. #kidlitchat
2:55 am patricemichelle: Can you imagine a day when print books become collectibles like vinyl? Don’t want print to fade away. It has its place! #kidlitchat
2:55 am amithaknight: @KatGirl_Studio I just remember my dad yelling at me not to touch the needle.. #kidlitchat
2:55 am jessicaleeander: Interesting! Glad they’re later pubbed RT @shikokusue: In Japan, cellphone novels are hot..later published in print!#kidlitchat #kidlitchat
2:55 am MaryBDanielson: If the price point went down, could easily see e-readers catching fire with kids. The instant gratification factor is huge plus. #kidlitchat
2:56 am MsBookSniper: Um, how does this work? I’ve never participated before? Am I too late? #kidlitchat
2:56 am emilyreads: @gregpincus I do find my kids have a fondness for physical books. Of course, it manifests itself in chewing and ripping . . . #kidlitchat
2:56 am yachicka: Thanks for the great chat! Goodnight #kidlitchat
2:56 am patricemichelle: RT @TracyClark_TLC A positive note to the tech age: Author visits via Skype! More access is a great thing. #kidlitchat – LOVE this!
2:56 am KatGirl_Studio: @davidhburton should mention I live in Silicon Valley the min something new comes out people seem to abandon the thing before #kidlitchat
2:56 am jessicaleeander: @MaryBDanielson Instant gratification plus portability #kidlitchat
2:56 am bonnieadamson: @MsBookSniper Welcome–we’re still at it! #kidlitchat
2:56 am Gwenda: @MaryBDanielson Plus, being able to hack it. :) #kidlitchat
2:57 am keelyinkster: @emilyreads LOL! Thats what those wonderful cloth books are for! #kidlitchat
2:57 am jimhill: Kids abuse books. Not a big deal at under $16 a pop. ereader, kindle and iPad are a little less disposable. #kidlitchat
2:57 am 2KoP: Another issue w/e-readers & kids. Kids especially want want technology experiences to be fast. Not all reading is or should be. #kidlitchat
2:57 am bonnieadamson: @dawnmetcalf Footnote: She was a classic major. We chose to take remark as a compliment. :-) #kidlitchat
2:57 am mayabidaya: @patricemichelle #kidlitchat i just did an interview via skype this weekend. it was fun!
2:57 am emilytastic: @jessicaleeander ereaders would probably help me with my back problem, huh? #kidlitchat
2:57 am ShellieBr: I think paper books will always be there #kidlitchat
2:58 am RebeccAgent: night all #kidlitchat
2:58 am eliohouse: @keelyinkster That’s true! But newspapers are their main source of news and reviews! The AOL discs are too shiny! #kidlitchat
2:58 am MaricarMac: can someone tell me how #kidlitchat works? Is this a weekly thing? topics? genre/age?
2:58 am emilyreads: La Munch (5) takes tremendous pride in leaving library with huge stack of bks. Fully-loaded Kindle not the same. #kidlitchat
2:58 am dawnmetcalf: This is like the difference btwn emails & handwritten letters. Which *feels* more caring/connected/human? I miss real letters. #kidlitchat
2:58 am gregpincus: @MsBookSniper We’re kinda wrapping up, but just jump in with #kidlitchat in your tweet and we’ll see ya!
2:58 am keelyinkster: @amithaknight Or jump around the record deck! #kidlitchat
2:58 am KatGirl_Studio: and my dads a computer engineer so we especially are tech savvy #kidlitchat
2:58 am MsBookSniper: @2KoP I completely agree–imagine A Wrinkle in Time or Phillip Pullman fast? They’d lose everything. #kidlitchat
2:58 am bonnieadamson: @mayabidaya Have had spotty success with Skype–most often, audio problems–bad connections? #kidlitchat
2:58 am JessicaLeader: I always admire ppl who embrace revolution (eg, techn)–yet when it stares me in face (eg ebooks), I retrench. Wish I were diff! #kidlitchat
2:58 am tristanbancks: @emilyreads Good point. We need water-proof picture book e-readers to stop babies short-circuiting them with drool. #kidlitchat
2:58 am DHeiligman: G’nigh! #kidlitchat
2:59 am dawnmetcalf: @MaricarMac Tuesdays at 9pm. Use hashtag #kidlitchat and have fascinating conversations with amazing booklovers!
2:59 am MsBookSniper: Paper books aren’t dying just yet #kidlitchat
2:59 am kjerstinwittwer: @jimhill That’s a good point. I think there’s a market for ultra-durable e-readers… though no one may have realized it yet. #kidlitchat
2:59 am ShellieBr: After all, we still have radio, even though we have radio, even though we have twitter. I think paper books will survive #kidlitchat
2:59 am jessicaleeander: @emilytastic you do lug a lot of books around! #kidlitchat
2:59 am bonnieadamson: @MaricarMac Live chat for all things kidlit–every Tuesday at 9 pm Eastern. #kidlitchat
2:59 am PaulWHankins: Wouldn’t a network called BookFace be a real boon to book promotion and sales. Dedicated to readers and reading enthusiasts? #kidlitchat
2:59 am patricemichelle: Night! #kidlitchat
2:59 am gregpincus: @DHeiligman G’night. Thanks for jumping in the chat! And congrats again on the LATimes nod…. #kidlitchat
2:59 am dorothiar: RT @MsBookSniper: Paper books arent dying just yet. YEAH! So glad to hear it. #kidlitchat
3:00 am shikokusue: Maybe if only e-readers, reading would become elitist – off limits to low income kids.#kidlitchat
3:00 am mayabidaya: @dawnmetcalf #kidlitchat i think there’s also something to be said for the time and effort that goes into a paper letter as opposed to email
3:00 am emilyreads: @tristanbancks Srsly — I do expect a Toddler Kindle in the not-distant future. I’m sure Fisher Price has something in devel. #kidlitchat
3:00 am keelyinkster: @emilyreads there’s something so magical about seeing a kid grinning her head off surrounded by a stack of books #kidlitchat
3:00 am KatGirl_Studio: I also don’t own things like calendars or watches so #kidlitchat
3:00 am MsBookSniper: @tristanbancks Maureen Johnson’s BERMUDA TRIANGLE was a “splash proof” beach read–I’m sure they could do it with picture books #kidlitchat
3:00 am dawnmetcalf: @tristanbancks @emilyreads Can you imagine the 0-3 kids gumming on the corners of Kindles? Better come in paper flavor. #kidlitchat
3:00 am dtfpress: RT @RebeccAgent: hope that publishers won’t continue to merge so it’s easier to find a home for every worthy project #kidlitchat
3:00 am DeeScribe: @bonnieadamson That’s 1.00pm or 12 noon in Australia depending on where you are:-) #kidlitchat
3:00 am davidhburton: Really must leave #kidlitchat … ‘night all!
3:00 am sandyalonzo: Like Goodreads? RT @PaulWHankins: Wouldnt a network called BookFace be a real boon to book promotion and sales. #kidlitchat
3:00 am Laurawriting: @LaFabuliste Yeah…NSYNC? I Remember those days:) Once upon a time I’d don my earphones and lose myself in Quadrophenia. #kidlitchat
3:00 am KatApel: @PaulWHankins Oooh! Very clever. BookFace indeed. #kidlitchat
3:00 am KatGirl_Studio: @keelyinkster ya you can’t make a fort or a castel out of a Kindle #kidlitchat
3:00 am dawnmetcalf: @keelyinkster @emilyreads Or falling asleep with an open book on their chests… #proudmommy #kidlitchat
3:00 am mayabidaya: @PaulWHankins #kidlitchat i think there is a social networking site for readers, but i don’t think it really took off :(
3:01 am kayeleenhamblin: I love watching my toddler flip his pages back and forth. It’s adorable. #kidlitchat
3:01 am PaulWHankins: @JessicaLeader I went to frosh class today and got five really excited students to be a part of our event. This will be good! #kidlitchat
3:01 am MsBookSniper: @dtfpress We all hope that! #kidlitchat
3:01 am bonnieadamson: @DeeScribe I cannot quite wrap my head around the smallness of the world. :-) Happy lunch hour! #kidlitchat
3:01 am kjerstinwittwer: @PaulWHankins #kidlitchat Isn’t that basically what GoodReads is?
3:01 am keelyinkster: @gregpincus Night and thanks! #kidlitchat
3:01 am amithaknight: @sandyalonzo: love goodreads! #kidlitchat
3:01 am KatApel: @DeeScribe Midday – nice and and easy to remember! :) #kidlitchat
3:01 am gregpincus: @PaulWHankins To some extent, GoodReads and Shelfari and the like are those networks already. And fun, too. #kidlitchat
3:02 am TracyClark_TLC: These chats always make me happy. *skipping away* to submit. Agent wants to see more!! G’nite all! #kidlitchat
3:02 am Martychan13: Thanks all for making my first visit to #kidlitchat a fun one. ‘night all.
3:02 am gregpincus: @PaulWHankins I would point out, though, that BookFace SHOULD exist because it’s a fab name #kidlitchat
3:02 am mayabidaya: @BonnieAdamson #kidlitchat yeah, we had some audio issues on saturday, but it turned out ok in the end….
3:02 am MaricarMac: @BonnieAdamson @dawnmetcalf thanks for the intro! putting this on my calendar now so I don’t miss the next one #kidlitchat
3:02 am DeeScribe: @bonnieadamson Thanks Bonnie – and a happy evening to you:-) #kidlitchat
3:02 am sandyalonzo: I’m just now getting into it. I agree! RT @amithaknight: @sandyalonzo: love goodreads! #kidlitchat
3:02 am PaulWHankins: @mayabidaya @professornana is leading group @ GoodReads + I am leading a group at FB: Centurions. Great title shares each month. #kidlitchat
3:02 am 2KoP: RT @patricemichelle print book = people ask questions about book. eReader= people ask quesitons about the eReader. True fact! #kidlitchat
3:03 am bonnieadamson: @Martychan13 Good night, Marty. Thanks for stopping by. #kidlitchat
3:03 am kjerstinwittwer: @gregpincus @PaulWHankins #kidlitchat Seconded!
3:03 am KatApel: @kayeleenhamblin Page flipping is great for fine motor skills. :) I cherish memories of my kids reading books. Snuggling up too. #kidlitchat
3:03 am TracyClark_TLC: @gregpincus @PaulWHankins It’s an idea of staggering genius! #kidlitchat
3:03 am dawnmetcalf: @mayabidaya Exactly. That’s what I think should be associated with books. It takes time & effort. Not just haphazard like email. #kidlitchat
3:03 am keelyinkster: @dawnmetcalf I run a book club with 120 kids –they love new books! Can’t really see that with ebooks think both will stay #kidlitchat
3:03 am bonnieadamson: @MaricarMac See you next week, then! #kidlitchat
3:03 am DeeScribe: Night everyone. I’m off to make satay sauce for the evening meal:-) #kidlitchat
3:03 am PaulWHankins: @gregpincus Yes. All of my friends call me “Cash.” Send royalties to S. Indiana in care of this name. You don’t know Paul. #kidlitchat
3:03 am EgmontUSA: I thoroughly agree RT @gregpincus @PaulWHankins I would point out, though, that BookFace SHOULD exist because it’s a fab name #kidlitchat
3:04 am bonnieadamson: @MaricarMac See you next week! #kidlitchat
3:04 am dorothiar: Another great chat. Goodnight. Time to curl up with a good book. #kidlitchat
3:05 am dawnmetcalf: @BonnieAdamson Ah! *blush* #kidlitchat
3:05 am jrroper: RT @dawnmetcalf: This is like the difference btwn emails & handwritten letters. Which *feels* more caring/connected/human? I miss real letters. #kidlitchat
3:05 am bonnieadamson: I’m off, fellow chatters–thank you all for keeping the conversation afloat! #kidlitchat
3:05 am leewind: @keelyinkster 120 kids all reading same book at same time? ebooks could make that more affordable, no? #kidlitchat
3:06 am keelyinkster: @dorothiar good night, got to go too, sweet dreams everyone! #kidlitchat
3:06 am hipwritermama: Maybe e-readers will make reading cool for reluctant readers. But, price point and flawless use needs to be there for teens. #kidlitchat
3:06 am peg366: @kayeleenhamblin Page flipping is great for fine motor skills. :) I cherish memories of my kids reading books. Me, too. #kidlitchat
3:07 am amyknichols: As I’m reading this chat, I’m listening to hubby reading book to son over baby monitor. :) #kidlitchat
3:07 am cjomololu: @keelyinkster Bye Keely – I just got back! #kidlitchat
3:07 am sandyalonzo: @bonnieadamson @gregpincus Thanks for an interesting chat! #kidlitchat
3:07 am mayabidaya: #kidlitchat no one ever talks about how bad ebooks must be for your eyes.
3:07 am jamesburksart: @leewind #kidlitchat not everyone will be able to afford an ebook especially in the california school system.
3:07 am jessicaleeander: @amyknichols How sweet! #kidlitchat
3:07 am keelyinkster: @leewind They pay $50 a year, and get breakfast and a book to keep each time, so money not an issue. #kidlitchat
3:08 am cjomololu: @jamesburksart They’d have to be indestructable. #kidlitchat
3:08 am gregpincus: Ebooks currently do have a real “digital divide” issue, and that’s a concern. I hope that it will change. #kidlitchat
3:08 am mayabidaya: Cute!!! @amyknichols: As I’m reading this chat, I’m listening to hubby reading book to son over baby monitor. :) #kidlitchat
3:08 am leewind: @jamesburksart #kidlitchat but with economies of scale, I’d think e-books (not be physical) would be cheaper
3:08 am amyknichols: @jessicaleeander And somewhat timely given the topic tonight. :) #kidlitchat
3:09 am leewind: @keelyinkster cool! #kidlitchat
3:09 am leewind: #kidlitchat must say goodnight. Good reading to all…
3:09 am dawnmetcalf: @amyknichols *awww!* #kidlitchat
3:10 am LaFabuliste: What else to be hopeful for? I say again: Multicultural books. And auths/eds/agts that believe in them #kidlitchat
3:10 am jessicaleeander: @amyknichols VERY timely! #kidlitchat
3:10 am HeidiRKling: @JessicaLeader No. But they are only 7 and 2 :) #kidlitchat
3:10 am dawnmetcalf: Thanks to @bonnieadamson & @gregpincus for another fantastic #kidlitchat !
3:10 am KatGirl_Studio: have to head out for tonight guys see you next week #kidlitchat
3:10 am mayabidaya: #kidlitchat ebooks may be cheaper than physical books, but libraries only carry physical books — which are free to anybody to read
3:10 am amyknichols: @dawnmetcalf :D #kidlitchat
3:10 am jessicaleeander: Yes, thank you! RT @dawnmetcalf: Thanks to @bonnieadamson & @gregpincus for another fantastic #kidlitchat ! #kidlitchat
3:10 am cjomololu: @LaFabuliste And the buying public to snatch them up. #kidlitchat
3:11 am kayeleenhamblin: So much to process from this chat! Good night all! #kidlitchat
3:11 am gregpincus: @mayabidaya True. Then again, I remember when libraries didnt carry videos or DVDs or have computers. #kidlitchat
3:11 am LaFabuliste: @cjmololu I think there’s a public that wants them. But sometimes people get scared. Stupid white privilege. #kidlitchat
3:12 am HeidiRKling: @literaticat Exactly. #kidlitchat
3:12 am gregpincus: @kayeleenhamblin Congrats on surviving your first #kidlitchat :-)
3:13 am cjomololu: @LaFabuliste The buying public needs to put it’s $$ where it’s mouth is. Buy those books with brown faces on the cover. #kidlitchat
3:13 am amyknichols: I bought a book from the Harvard Bookstore Espresso Book machine this week. Interesting to see what it’s like. Maybe this is… #kidlitchat
3:14 am LaFabuliste: @cjmololu Maybe a study on socioeco/demographics of people who buy most books? Would be interesting. #kidlitchat
3:14 am amyknichols: …how we’ll get our printed books in the future? Read ebooks and if we want an actual book, run a print copy? #kidlitchat
3:15 am lprevival: RT @keelyinkster: @gregpincus but vinyl never really died, I say staring at my huge vinyl collection and record deck ;-) #kidlitchat
3:16 am gregpincus: @amyknichols I certainly think that’s one way it’ll happen – print anything on demand (well, maybe not board books!) #kidlitchat
3:16 am mayabidaya: @gregpincus #kidlitchat i’m still hopeful. since ebooks couldn’t be returned, publishers would never want libraries distributing them 4 free
3:16 am LaFabuliste: Olympic skiier named Aksel Lund Svindal. I mention this because that’s a name that deserves a book. #kidlitchat
3:17 am amyknichols: @gregpincus I’m cool with that as long as the quality is there. #kidlitchat
3:17 am 2KoP: @MsBookSniper So true about slow reading. It’s hard to savor e-text. #kidlitchat
3:17 am cjomololu: @lprevival I gave my 500+ vinyl collection away and now my 12yo is replacing it disc by disc. Sigh. #kidlitchat
3:18 am LaFabuliste: Ebook makes me think self-published. Self-published makes me think lower quality. Snobby? Probably. #kidlitchat
3:19 am gregpincus: OK, folks… I’m outta here. I will try to get the transcript up tonight or tomorrow morning. Thanks as always! #kidlitchat
3:19 am amyknichols: @LaFabuliste Me, too. #kidlitchat
3:19 am amyknichols: @LaFabuliste Though I have seen good examples of both. :) #kidlitchat
