It sounds like the 1992 and 1998 readers precede the PDAs mentioned, regardless. Still, if it ships with software to read and/or purchase ebooks (I don't know if that's the case with the Palm), then it is unquestionably in the ebook and ereader market. Any additional quibbling over whether it's a "dedicated" reader is irrelevant, and often a projection of one's own priorities upon the market.
