Actually it's a pretty good article--the author has clearly read up on the various reading devices and formats, and concentrated on the best-known for his piece. (Just this morning, I was asked on the train "Is that [my Cybook Gen3] a Kindle?") He enumerated some of the current problems with ebooks and readers--though, curiously, never mentions DRM--and in the end he admitted that the device DOES disappear if the story is sufficiently gripping, even for such a determined Luddite as he set himself up to be in the article.
