Free Fridays for young kids, please!

My 6 and 4 year olds love to read books on my Nook 1st generation. My 6 year old plays chess against the Nook when a grownup isn't available for a "live" game. Imagine how he'd love a touch screen! We're thinking of adding a color e-reader/tablet to the family soon, maybe for Christmas. 

 

I love Free Fridays - it's the first thing I check online on Friday morning! Please, please consider having a kids Free Fridays pick, something suitable for the 10 and under crowd. Everybody I talk to about the Nook gets that "I'm really interested" look when I tell them about Free Fridays. Imagine all the parents who would think that a Free Fridays kid pick makes Nook a better choice than, ahem, competitor products this holiday season! And, smart publishers want to get face time with future consumers!

 

Thanks for your consideration!

If they start a Free Fridays for kids, I would put my ebook on it.

Since B&N is not the one making the books free the publisher is (or so I think don't hold me to it) I think kiddy fridays are unlikely. But there are free kiddy books that pop up. The Book Discussion boards can help you with that. Next time I am on the computer I will post a link for you. Can't do so from my nook 1. Hope I helped a little.

I think you are right about the publisher making the book free. If a call went out to kid book writers, I would do so for Free Friday, but not make the book free all the time. I don't know if we will see this happen.

You can do a search for free books by typing in 0.00. There will be an option for children's books as well.
