This thread seems to go around the definition of reading and how each personal version interferes with other views.
For the devices we use there are different reading experiences.
1. Reading novels for entertainment.
2. Reading Classics for the appreciation of genious and art.
3. Reading News and information on newspaper, trade papers and magazines.
4. Searching for information on the web such as Wiki or looking for objects or facts.
5. Studies and academics.
6. Graphics, Art and Photography display. (read: Coffee table books)
7. Dictionnaries and encyclopediae.
... And I pass or forget.
Everyone of those activities are better served by different devices.
I believe that M. Jobs' comments refer to the first category and the fact that his main competitors have affirmed that their devices were built for this one.
It serves no one here to criticize each other's views but to agnowlege and respect them.
