Same with cameras and all types of things. The more you read the more likely you are to use a dedicated reading device. Simple really.

Hm. I read a lot. At least an hour of "fun" reading every day, usually more. I don't use a dedicated device, because I also need to be able to read journal articles for grad school, and I need a device that will let me annotate and clip from those. In addition, my iPad lets me read DRM'd books from nearly any vendor, which is handy if I don't have time or tools handy to strip the DRM.
I certainly agree that some people prefer a multi-use device, while others prefer a dedicated device. I just don't think that the amount of reading one does necessarily correlates highly with that choice. But perhaps I'm an exception.
