Just as there may be more people watching TV than reading books ("e" or otherwise),
the rapid adoption of tablets does not foretell the demise of e-readers. I question the
premise that people who acquire tablets have given up on their e-readers, ereading, or
reading in general.
As one who once read comics and paperbacks, under a blanket with a flashlight, when
I was supposed to be sleeping. Devoured SF Anthologies from the library. Eventually
purchased enough books for my own little library. Discovered "e-books" and have and
still do read some on all the devices I have listed. I continue to read the vast majority
of time using my dedicated E-reader (ECTACO jetBook Lite). I don't think I have actually
ever finished reading a whole ebook on my EEE Pad Transformer, I much prefer my JBL.
The point being that our reading may go through many changes and be facilitated by all
kinds of new devices but no real reader will be giving up the process that works best for
them, even if they do tryout the shiny new thing for awhile.
Luck;
Ken
