I would say more people are buying on their iphones and the like, than with dedicated readers. Most people don't read that many books, at least not enough to make buying a $100-$150 reader worthwhile. They may read a handful of books a year, and for those occasions, I'll stand by my statement that they think a general purpose device is "good enough"
