Again, that doesn't matter.

What matters is whether the people who own and use dedicated ebook devices buy lots of ebooks. Especially if the tablets are used a large percentage of the time for games, movies, email and the like.

If 5% of the reading public buys 20% of the books, and they prefer dedicated ebook readers, then dedicated devices will stick around.

eInk devices have had those same capabilities for years, that's nothing new.
