Tablets provide an additional dimension in that you can read, plus do so much more. The analogy to "smart phones" is a little flawed, as there are plenty of non-smart phones around, albeit they often still have "basic" smart features like e-mail, mms, web, etc. I personally hate them!

I have an iPhone - I don't want a larger iPhone without a phone. Ever. I want to read books on my ereader without playing games. I don't need color, games, cameras, calendars, email, etc on my
book reader. I want to read my book. Nothing else. Nothing more. Just books.
I feel that the major issue young people have today is CONCENTRATION. Stop trying to multi-task! It doesn't work. All that crap is nothing but distraction. I don’t want the distraction so I guess I’ll stop buying ereaders if they all turn into distraction tools.
