I am a heavy reader so I like having a specific reading device.

I also like having a general one so when I am not going to sit down and read for a few hours, so if its only for a few minutes a general device would be fine.

I think this is why even though we have all in one phones that can double as a mp3 player we still have plain old mp3 players that sell. Same with gaming systems like the PS3, Wii and Xbox.

I think a majority of people will go with a general device, with serious readers and perhaps students would go with dedicated use device.
