But libgen doesn't have "Good night, Gorilla". :-)

Personally, I stick with paper books for kids, even books (and not picture books.)

EDIT: Added a missing closing parentheses. I'm a bad LISPer...

We use the Libby app. Just need a local library card and kids can freely reserve and borrow ebooks to read on phones and tablets. Helps with voracious readers who finish reading short novels in the car home from the shops if you buy them a physical book.
