Disney Digital Books  is the first digital subscription library of children’s books.  A $24.99 subscription fee gives you 3 months of downloads.  The books I saw demonstrated were pure Disney – Mickey Mouse and Toy Story all the way up to Hannah Montana and chapter books – there are over 600 books in the collection.  The writing, as best I can remember, is verbatim from the Disney print books collection.

Built for kids ages 3 -12, these stories allow for listening as they are read aloud, highlighting words to be read aloud and the turning of pages. The books seem considerably less interactive than those on LeapFrog's Tag Reading System (formerly the LeapPad Reader), for instance, but they do have a (fully customizable) handsome opening interface resembling a kids’ library. There are also trivia contests and a simple build-your-own-story tool for young children.

You can log in to the Disney Digital Book area online (http://Disneydigitalbooks.com) or go to a book retail outlet and purchase a box that contains the online access code.  The good news is that a subscription is only a three month obligation, just long enough to overdose on the mouse.
