MyOn is a great service in theory, but the lack of accurate filters makes it downright dangerous for younger users.

How I Use It

My kindergartner uses MyOn both at school and at home. Although it's a valuable resource in theory, the filtering process is non-existent. It continually displays titles that are high-school age, and since the books are read aloud to kids, he is shown and read very inappropriate materials for his age. Examples: Books on the Holocaust/WWII with very disturbing photos of dead and dying people, a gruesome story about the Donner party, books about vampire and ghost legends. With constant adult supervision, it might be ok, but even the book cover art that is shown is problematic if you have a sensitive child.
