He was writing before the Kindle made its big move into the mainstream and before the price wars forced the cost of owning a quality ebook reader down below that of an iPod Nano.

There may be little market for dedicated readers if Mirasol or colour eInk displays improve to the point of suitability for tablet use or if PixelQi really takes off.
