it used to be that ereaders had the same price point as tablets. i imagine tablet pricing will go down in a few years. i chose a kindle dx because i thought it would be nice to get away from the net. however, that view was naive. you're never away from the net. a device that handles both books and web surfing with a breeze is invaluable. nonetheless, i'm happy i have a kindle and not a tablet pc.
i think ereaders are a bit more popular because they're much cheaper today, and with the pearl screens, they boast a convincing reading experience to paper books.
