Ebook or paper? How do you read children's books? "Misho of the Mountain" will be available in both formats. I love the convenience of ebooks and the feel of real books. So I decided to protect my Kindle with a DIY case made from an old book with Japanese paper, scrapbook paper, and foam shock absorbers. I fooled myself with the final product and tried to turn the pages.
