I didn't miss that. I'm asking when the overwhelming number of mutli-function devices will over come the fact that dedicated readers are bough by people intending to read.

The last time Amazon mentioned this, they said that only 20% of their sales are for books read via their apps. But they've had such a big push to get their apps on all the devices....and they have released commercials that advertise only the kindle books (not the kindle) specifically targeted at people reading on phones/tablets....and given the massive amounts of phones/tablets that are being sold....when will we see that change from 20%
