Most likely Oct/Nov time frame, Apple is expected to release their mini iPad. I'm waiting for this device to get for my dysgraphic/dyslexic kiddo. It is rumored to have Siri, so he'll be able to set audio calendar reminders as well as download audio and kindle books from our library.
And, yes, following along with print is helpful, but it also makes it less enjoyable and more like work - so we did a mix. Novels were for sheer pleasure, anything for school needed to use both audio and text if possible.
