We have had PDFs, monitors, computer, for a long time. That did not replace regular ebooks.

Nobody ever wanted to read sitting at a table looking straight ahead at a "TV". People enjoy reading holding the "paper" in the hands, in comfy chair, on the sofa, spread in bed or perhaps on the go. Smartphones are ideal for that.

Smartphones are too small for reading. Take for example computer books. You need a 10" screen or landscape in order to be able to read code properly, same for poetry.

Why would you read code instead of program it?
But poetry? come on! It's the shortest, most compact literary format! It just begs to be read on a smartphone. Even the Iliad, one stanza a time...
