    DS1 has the Leap frog Tag. Where he has the thing he presses on the book and it can read to them or can play a game etc depending on what book they have.

    Otherwise CD story books.

    Do you have an iPhone? Audiobooks from iTunes and a $15 speaker from bigW.
    Or the android equivalent.

    I saw something in kmart a couple of months ago - it was a Thomas one but they had a pink one too which was an ereader kind of thing. I think it was between $20 and $30 and had a bunch of stories on it. I tried googling but couldn't find it but your local kmart may have one if you are interested

    Not quite what you are after - but I have DD listen to podcast stories from the BBC while I deal with DS - they are free (can put onto any mp3, I use my phone), get new ones all the time and I quite like the idea of her using her imagination to make the pictures etc to go along with the words, and also I find it can be more relaxing for her than reading because don't need a reading light on. I am a big radio and audio-book fan though - and these were a bit part of my childhood too. DD prefers these to the CD's which go bing to turn the page (we have tried a few at the library) - but she is a bit younger than your DD.
