You want the kids to be able clock a ton of required reading minutes while on the road this summer but the thought of piling books into a totally packed car feels too much like your own version of Gray Gardens. Cut down on space without losing the literary by going digital with audio and e-books. Flip through the gallery for the very best new reads. Bonus: you can check most of these out for free at your local library.
