I am very surprised by these comments. When Steve Jobs said pretty much the same thing, there was on this site a hue and cry about how wrong he was. So, if I understand correctly, Cory Doctorow is more of an authority in these matters than Steve Jobs. Well, I don't need to follow or even debate what either one of them says: I am not in the business of making and selling ereaders and ebooks. What I am is a satisfied user of a Kindle which, for the moment, does what I want, and allows me to read more conveniently (not just books, but newspapers and office documents which Amazon converts for me, thank you). If you don't want or need that, don't buy the device, period! Neither Jobs nor Doctorow to my knowledge are certified prophets, and my use of the Kindle depends on what I and not they think. If ereaders disappear it will be because something better has come on the scene.
