That's a perfect way to rationalise a stale market: Why would you need good quality screens, responsive and intuitive software, larger screens (or even colour e-ink), format compatibility, open stardards etc. etc. when all people do with their devices is read novels.
Of course why would you need large lcd screens, wireless peripherals, small footprint, fast cpus and large hard drives when all people do with the computers (circa) 1980 is type on some rudimentary spreadsheets and word processors and play a few moronic games.
btw, sure wikis are better than textbooks, that's why 0% universities and students (and interested readers) learn via wikis, and magazines and newspapers are doomed because you say so, but hey the ipad has tons of magazine subscriptions and newspaper subscriptions and so does (in a compromised way of course) the kindle.
