Good point about tablets versus dedicated ebook readers.
If I were to buy a tablet (and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out this year) I wouldn't be doing much, if any, ebook reading on it. I've tried out text on iPads, and I like my e-ink screen a lot better. I'd only use the tablet as a reader when for some reason I couldn't have my Sony 505 with me. And yet I'm a voracious reader. So we can't really assume that any significant number of iPad purchasers are reading any given number of ebooks on them if someone like me -- already an avid ebook reader -- doesn't plan to do so.
