Yes, I do. Keeping in mind that many people who bought new readers in the past year already owned a reader. I.e., many people who bought a K3 already owned a K2. Keeping also in mind that there is a certain amount of duplication - i.e., a number of people who bought an iPad also own an e-reader. And keeping finally in mind the fact that many of the millions of people who bought an iPad did so with no intention of using it for an e-reader...

So, yeah, I think that tripling was pretty good.
