The New York Times has a story about a children’s novel “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” that was published three years ago online, where anyone could read it free. To this day anyone still can, at Funbrain, an educational Web site.
Despite laments about youngsters spending too much time surfing the Web and not enough time reading, it turns out that many of them still want the format of old-fashioned paper stuck between two covers. The book, written and drawn by Jeff Kinney, has spent 33 weeks on The New York Times best-seller list. This Sunday, it will be No. 1 on the Children’s Chapter Books list.
