I'm like you, jbcohen. I prefer my camera, e-book reader, phone, MP3 player, GPS, map, shopping list, video player, etc. all to be in one convenient device that I can carry with me. However, I'd say most people like their dedicated readers because of the larger screen and the E Ink technology. I don't think a phone screen is that small or as hard on the eyes as many people make it out to be (background: black, text: gray), but I do think the dedicated readers would be somewhat easier to read on.
