I find these comparisons with the iPad nauseating too. I also get tired of similar articles about smartphones taking over the ereader market. Not everything has to be a multi-functional device! Dedicated devices definitely serve a purpose when they offer more features tailored to a specific experience that might be over-generalized on a multi-functional device. That's why it's great to have consumer choices so people can buy what meets their needs. Not every new product has to be the next big "killer" as the media hype would lead you to believe.
