I was thinking the other day, with teens so "plugged in," wouldn't there be a following in the ebook sector for YA fiction?

I work in a library, and I know a bunch of kids who shy away from the books, but seem to have no issues with reading material on the computer or their many gizmos. Don't you think there might be an untapped audience there?

Just a random thought. :) Don't shoot me. :p

From what I know YA ebooks are not big. Online content is generally easy-read and interactive rather than a text book. At this point many people including the 30-something like me are never away from the internet (thank you iPhone). I even own an ebook reader and write ebooks. But I read mostly print books. Reading a full journal article on mylaptop or a full novel on my Sony ereader is still not easy. The tech isn't quite there yet.
