Product Description: Introducing Tag Reading System, the revolutionary touch reading system that brings reading to life like never before. Tag engages children to make reading a rich, fulfilling experience. Children simply touch the Tag Reader (which looks like an electronic pen) to the book's pages, and words talk, characters sing and stories fly off the pages. With a huge library of hardcover books and games including favorite TV, movie and classic tales, each Tag Book allows children to learn at their own pace, building their skills and their confidence. Plus, by connecting the Tag Reader to the online LeapFrog Learning Path, parents can see what their child is learning -- and even receive recommendations on what books their child could read next! Includes Tag Reader, plus the "Ozzie and Mack" Book; additional Tag Books sold separately. Tag Reader requires two "AAA" batteries, not included. Customer Reviews: Rating:

Perfect for my 6 year old
My son loves his new tag. He's learning to read and while he still uses his leapster and book reader he really enjoys this. I had no problem loading the software onto my Macbook pro running Leopard, very easy. I so totally love that the books are regular books that fit into the bookcase with no cartridges to deal with or spiral bindings. The tag can read just the word or just the page. And even without the book on hand it will read the whole book to you, like an audiobook. I agree the system would benefit from more memory, but it forces my son to plan ahead when we go on trips. Again though, no cartridges! As far as not being able to share the system, at least you can still use the same books. Rating:

Demo link doesn't work
I'm disappointed that I just got an e-mail from Amazon, clicked thru to find out more about this product, clicked on the link for the demo, but the link doesn't work! I get an error message when I try to link to the demo page.
Someone needs to check out the links before sending marketing e-mails about a concept this new that is likely to need a demo to be well understood! I would really like to know more, but can't get to that information. Rating:

A step up from leappad, but has limitations.
The Tag reading system is definitely a step up from the Leappad in terms of playability. However, it has its limitations.
- Unlike the Leapster where multiple users can share each device, each Tag is for a single user (player profile). LeapFrog highly recommends each child have his/her own Tag reader in order to take full advantage of Tag. Therefore, sharing doesn't work and means more $$$$ spent.
- Using a Tag reader on multiple computers might be cumbersome. I haven't found a way to "migrate" data easily, for example, in case of OS or PC upgrades. This affects the Rewards and the LEAPFROG Learning Path.
- Can only store 5 audio books at a time on the Reader. So if your child wants a different book besides one of the five, you'll have to connect to the computer to download/manage it. This will make it difficult for long trips. Memory is cheap, why not have more memory to begin with?
- Must connect to the internet, but then, who doesn't have internet access these days.
----------------------
Some nice points.
- Has a headphone jack!
- USB connectivity was pretty easy, but did seem a bit slow.
- Reader worked fine.

My nephew loved it!!
I took this home to my nephew and he had a blast "exploring" all hidden secrets buried into each layout. The titles of the books are right down his alley. Looks like Leapfrog did it again. All the learning and fun rolled into a great product...
