You give the reason in your question, "dedicated," a device designed for the task it is intended to perform... to allow the reading of books in a far superior fashion to a generalist device which lets you read books but not in very ergonomic fashion... likewise I have a music player because it plays (and stores lots of) music well for a substantial length of time whilst my phone then retains enough charge to let me deal with phone calls and texts... to re-quote (with a twist), a smart phone (alone)

Now I carry one device that will do all of that, its a blackberry  . |
